No matter how we use roundabouts with pedestrian crossovers, we each have an individual responsibility to ensure the safety of all road users.
Pedestrians and cyclists (walking their bikes) must indicate that they want to cross and ensure drivers see them before starting their crossing. Remember, these roundabouts have a two-stage crossing for each leg of the roundabout, pedestrians and cyclists must repeat their indication to motorists once on the median island.
Drivers (or cyclists on the road) are required to yield to pedestrians at crossovers. Even if a pedestrian does not activate the beacon, drivers are required to stop for pedestrians who have indicated they want to cross.
