> Roundabouts generally make streets safer for pedestrians as they slow the flow of traffic They may be safer and reduce top speed when traffic is low but otherwise improve flow so that pedestrians have less opportunity to cross.

If they are particularly busy or multi-lane, they will also have traffic lights to stop traffic just for the pedestrian's benefit.
