The "normal" speeding in residential areas absolutely does increase the chance of death and injury in a collision with a pedestrian or cyclist.
K = m v²
That energy increases with the square of the speed, and has to go somewhere (person's body) in a collision.

At the extreme in some areas if you could go the speed of light you could essentially pick a time when no pedestrian could even possibly enter the road while you are on it.
