Rural is when not AYYYY OHHHH I'M WALKIN' HERE 🤌

Yeah but this is the exact center of the town it's not a big place and it's surrounded by farms

It's wide enough it needs to be two lanes with painted lines but they can't do that or it would reveal how insane having parking pull-offs on a roundabout is

I am not a smart or experienced at all, but this is my guess.

someone turning right into that top street and slowing down

Maybe because they are driving past parking spaces, and concerned someone might back out?

someone coming out of that street also slowing down

Based on the image where the truck is, there is another road very close to the top one. If the people driving there aren't paying attention or try to rush the roundabout, the top people would have to slow down.
