Try a 3 lane roundabout entry. I cross that shit twice a day on my commute to work every fucking day. Other options are very far out of the way as to make them non-viable.
I always wave on traffic so that I may cross when it is safe. Sometimes, a car stops to let me through, and refuses to move. I won’t go, because I can’t see the other two lanes past the car that is stopped. Four times in the past year, that car was rear ended by a massive fuckoff truck. For whatever reason, they get pissed off at me, not the guy that rear ended them.
I only once encountered it in Czechia near Plzen with 2 lanes. Think it took me 5 minutes before I could/dared. Can’t imagine it with 3. Crazy dangerous situation. Stay safe!
Tho not preferable, there’s cases where it can work. The roundabout layout still provides a better (easier) entry to the crossroads, the traffic lights can create a “cadence”. Technically not a roundabout anymore, it does use some of it’s qualities.
Anyhow, pedestrian crossings on 2 lanes right before any kind of intersection without any lights is way more dangerous than a roundabout with lights.
C is yielding to a pedestrian, but carbrain D cannot fathom yielding to anything smaller than their car.
There’s no pedestrian in the image.
Cars are bad enough as it is that we don’t have to imagine more problems with them.
Pedestrian would be safer crossing somewhere with a pedestrian crossing
A pedestrian would cross between C and D, or even behind D.
Were this a 2 lane roundabout, car d would be changing lanes to bypass car c, nearly striking that pedestrian
Pedestrian crossing without traffic lights at a 2 lane roundabout entry? That’s just murderous design.

Traffic lights on a roundabout kinda defeats the purpose doesn’t it? might as well signalize the intersection

It took me three attempts to parse
Your mistake is even harder to type than the correct ‘Were’!
Nope, same level of difficulty since the swipe keyboard autocorrect added the unneeded apostrophe.
Hate it when that happens!
Autocorrect fucks me on were we’re all the time. I bet that’s what happened.
Yup. Swipe keyboard.
yall need real keyboards.
