I was curious to see if the UK had a similar rise, nope a 14% fall in the same period of pedestrian deaths (slight rise in deaths of cyclists and car occupants though): https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casua...

As an aside the article title is sensationalist to say the least - according to the article the US saw a 18% rise in pedestrian deaths in the same period.
