It seems that because the traffic never stops anywhere in the circle, a blind person cannot get enough clues to ever tell if it is safe to cross the highway. So now we need ped overpasses(throw another $million at that intersection, Jed!).

roundabouts here, bicycles, and pedestrians crossing the road at a roundabout, have right of way...so for blind people they should hear the car stop for them when they are about to cross...
you say high way... how could a pedestrian ever get on a highway and expect safe passage across??? blind or not blind???
