Best bet, regardless of speed, is just to pop the gear selector into neutral. (I don't even use the clutch pedal to take the selector out of gear... just pull it out while you're letting off the gas pedal, and it will slide right out.)

I do clutch-in coast in short bumper to bumper driving but you make a good point
One that I was considering
Also the belt has been changed a year ago as well as transmission fluid
But all will be inspected once I start my rounds
