I prefer traffic circles, but this is a step in the right direction and can be retrofit to the car-centric US infrastructure to make it just a little less pedestrian hostile.
Yes, I guess technically these are called roundabouts. I’ve seen a few of the bigger ones that are decently pedestrian friendly with good visibility and well marked crossings. But yeah most of the big ones are gauntlets.

Traffic circles… Presumably you mean the super compact euro ones? “Normal” ones are hell as a pedestrian.

In Europe, we call the super compact ones “normal”.
