Every time I see a crosswalk near a roundabout, I think that's a terrible place for a crosswalk (the drivers are distracted by figuring out if they need to stop, and when it's clear to keep going).


They shouldn't be, if a driver is already looking into the roundabout before even reaching the crosswalk they are simply driving too fast.

Just as with yield signs you should be able to stop in time when needed.

I mean, yes, they are driving too fast. Given that drivers do drive too fast, it's a bad place for a crosswalk.
