Definitely not in the EU: https://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/sites/roadsafety/...

„In 2016, 5.320 pedestrians were killed in road accidents in the EU (excluding Lithuania and Slovakia), which is 21% of all road fatalities. During the decade 2007-2016, in the European Union, pedestrian fatalities were reduced by 36%, while the total number of fatalities was reduced by almost 41%.”
