    C is yielding to a pedestrian, but carbrain D cannot fathom yielding to anything smaller than their car.

      Were this a 2 lane roundabout, car d would be changing lanes to bypass car c, nearly striking that pedestrian

        Pedestrian crossing without traffic lights at a 2 lane roundabout entry? That’s just murderous design.

          Try a 3 lane roundabout entry. I cross that shit twice a day on my commute to work every fucking day. Other options are very far out of the way as to make them non-viable.

          I always wave on traffic so that I may cross when it is safe. Sometimes, a car stops to let me through, and refuses to move. I won’t go, because I can’t see the other two lanes past the car that is stopped. Four times in the past year, that car was rear ended by a massive fuckoff truck. For whatever reason, they get pissed off at me, not the guy that rear ended them.

            Does turning your head/body to face away from that car that refuses to move help much?

            I only once encountered it in Czechia near Plzen with 2 lanes. Think it took me 5 minutes before I could/dared. Can’t imagine it with 3. Crazy dangerous situation. Stay safe!
