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.

Not if “protected” means “separated by a barrier”.

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.

You could still put an obstruction in the middle to prevent t-bone collisions while keeping the bike and pedestrian spaces.
