Were this a 2 lane roundabout, car d would be changing lanes to bypass car c, nearly striking that pedestrian

Pedestrian crossing without traffic lights at a 2 lane roundabout entry? That's just murderous design.

Traffic lights on a roundabout kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it? might as well signalize the intersection

Tho not preferable, there's cases where it can work. The roundabout layout still provides a better (easier) entry to the crossroads, the traffic lights can create a "cadence". Technically not a roundabout anymore, it does use some of it's qualities.

Anyhow, pedestrian crossings on 2 lanes right before any kind of intersection without any lights is way more dangerous than a roundabout with lights.
