@african8855 Those people are just going to have to fend for themselves.

@fallenshallrise It's always going to be a conversation because the roundabout is significantly larger, especially if it is going to provide adequate sight distance for comfortable pedestrian use. Or work well at high volumes. There needs to be a decently long run between entering lanes, else drivers in the circle can force their will on everyone else, whether it's pedestrians or other cars.

For paths to be useful beyond a specific community, there has to be a lot more coordination between developments than usually occurs. One example is that where there are forest conservation requirements, the inside sides of a parcel are often put in easement, leaving the only available connectivity on the main road side. The jurisdiction could prioritize the path if they wanted. But it's usually not close to the top of the list.
