even with the pedestrian crossing, i don't understand what the problem is. you go when it is safe, you wait when it is not

The problem is the amount of cars that attempt to go through that roundabout, everyone is relying on indicators to make their move so one mistake on the indicators could cause an accident.

Plus you approach the roundabout, you're looking at cars in/around the roundabout when you approach, to see if you can get through not in front of you at the pedestrian crossing just in case someone is crossing. There is way too much going on there at once.
