As a cyclist, sometimes in roundabouts, this is something that many drivers need to be more aware of. In particular, depending on the roundabout size, the entry angle, and the car, someone's A pillar may completely obscure a cyclist. Also, while a great solution for cars, in populated areas, roundabouts can be tricky for pedestrians to cross. Also not aided by the fact that at least in Germany many motorists have no clue about the exact rules (yield to crossing pedestrians and cyclists when exiting the roundabout because that's effectively a turn). The best solution in this regard still seems to be to put zebra crossings all around the roundabout, along with traffic islands between the lanes entering and existing the roundabout. That makes it sufficiently safe for people and bikes to cross and sufficiently obvious to drivers how to behave. But that takes even more space.
