> Jaywalking makes.. what harder?

Crossing the road without a crossing or light or whatever explicitly telling you that you can do it.

> In the UK, roundabouts are marked with areas for pedestrians to cross but they are not crossings? What are they, then?

They are indented areas where the road (and often the centre barrier just before the roundabout) is marked for pedestrians but traffic is not obligated to stop. You cross the road when it is safe

> What do you do if it does not become clear?

If it was such total gridlock you can just cross in between traffic that is not moving?
