What is the proper action for pedestrians at a roundabout?

The proper action for pedestrians at a roundabout is to only cross using crosswalks and with caution. This ensures their safety and adheres to traffic laws designed to facilitate the orderly flow of both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Roundabouts typically have designated crosswalks that indicate the safest places for pedestrians to cross, allowing them to do so in an area where vehicles are more likely to expect foot traffic.

Using crosswalks provides a structured path for pedestrians and alerts drivers to their presence. Additionally, exercising caution while crossing emphasizes the need for vigilance, as vehicles may be approaching from multiple directions. This approach minimizes the risk of accidents and ensures that pedestrians have a safer experience when navigating roundabouts.
