Maybe depends on where you are living, but you quite probably have the wrong impression.
In my country (Germany), less than 3000 people die each year in traffic overall, while already an estimated 4000 pedestrians die while simply using stairs.
So, “Stairway to Heaven” gains a whole different layer of meaning, as it seems… :-)

Walking is what we evolved to do. While being a pedestrian in certain parts of cities is dangerous, tons of walking is done away from vehicles.

I don’t think people commonly refer to people using the stairs as being pedestrians.
