Underpasses completely solve it. For small, low-traffic roundabouts, you just need pedestrian crossings like on a normal intersection, preferably with an isle between the opposing traffic lanes.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agounderpasses should be built for cars, not people. I have recently tried navigating the world, temporarily, with a mobility imparement, and boy does it change your perspective on things. Why do I, as a pedestrian, have to go down and then back up, why is the guy sitting in a box with 200 horsepower not the one going up and down? Also car underpasses do not become a public toilet the way pedestrian ones do Why are able bodied men waiting in a queue for an elevator? Why does a train station in the middle of a spacious suburb have no elevator, no ramp, and no way to get out if your can't use stairs?

- ClumsyPilot 3y agoThey do, the station is just 100 years old and the act does not force them to upgrade old infrastructure. There is a clear difference between how quickly infrastructure for cars gets fixed, and how a simple ramp could be not installed at a train station for decades.
