I live near a roundabout just like this one
except the zebra crossings are slightly further (maybe about 1 car length) away from the lane exits and less visible when on the road.
AIBU to have contacted the local council about the placement of the crossings? There are two schools nearby and the amount of times I've seen teenagers nearly knocked over or minor car crashes as a result of sharp braking is ridiculous. I've been crashed into the back of twice from stopping for pedestrians, while the car behind me carries merrily on into my car!
The council's response was that they had to place the crossings very close to exits as this is where pedestrians naturally want to cross
I'll have to teach DC's to be very very wary of this roundabout when they get old enough to cross independently!

AIBU?
To think this placement of zebra crossings is really dangerous?
