Why not just install a roundabout?
A roundabout does not protect people riding bicycles. This intersection is designed to make them more visible to drivers.
You’re assuming that most people are decent law abiding drivers and won’t be impatient and simply use that as another lane or parking spot.
Can you draw that? How does it work when a bicycle wants to go straight and a car wants to turn right? Either you would need underpasses/overpasses or accept that cars and bikes will constantly cross each other, which in practice means the bikes will be in danger.
Because roundabouts prioritize motorists, their safety, and convenience. Clearly the goal here is to improve pedestrian and cyclist survival and convenience.
Seems the opposite to me. I see in this picture what is essentially a roundabout but missing the central island, meaning people can drive straight through.
Roundabouts force motorists to slow down and can still provide a safe perimeter around the edge for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Roundabouts need more space than a regular crossing and there are buildings on all four corners here.
