I have to agree, most roundabouts lack traffic lights and as a result you have to cross when you can see a lull in the oncoming traffic.

Most british roundabouts, in urban areas, requiring pedestrian crossing have zebra crossings on the road a short distance in from the roundabout itself. This allows the pedestrian to have a right of way.
