To an extent… drivers tend to accelerate when leaving roundabouts which can make crossing difficult for pedestrians

Especially bad when crossings are like 30cm from the roundabout. Some are better with at least one car's length between the two.

Otherwise you either risk getting run over by a car exiting the roundabout without seeing you; or getting run over by the car that stopped, but was rear-ended by another inside the roundabout.
