The only roundabout hereabouts replaced a 4 way stop in a residential area. Little thing, one lane. So if I stop to wait for a pedestrian, the person behind me who's planning on continuing around to another exit will have to stop too. Which, given that the whole point of a roundabout is not to stop, they will not be expecting. I will get honked at and/or rear-ended, depending what they're doing on their phone. I think I'll circle around until it's safe.

Taking a lap is also an option.

While the purpose of a roundabout is better flow, pedestrians have right of way and if you'd rather get dizzy than make someone behind you wait 5 seconds and get honked at, go for it!
