When I travel inside a roundabout, I try to keep an eye on the exit, in case of pedestrians or cyclists. The other day, when travelling towards Stirling on Homer Watson (at Ottawa), there was a cyclist who had not yet crossed the road. I came to a quick stop to allow him to proceed, and he was motioning me to proceed, which I ignored, since I already stopped. He then proceeded to cross Homer Watson.
So I am under the assumption that pedestrians and cyclists have right of way, hence why we shouldn't take a roundabout at 100 KPH like some drivers. My assumption is correct, right? The cyclist seemed annoyed that I stopped for him.
Hmm. There's a crosswalk right? Cyclists technically don't have the right of way on a crosswalk when on their bicycle and they could get charged if hit by a car. There are sometimes crossrides in a few places which should be more certain.
More realistically I always don't quite trust that people will stop their cars even if I do have right of way.
