I think this is the real issue - though this is designed for safety, if it so inconveniences pedestrians they will not use it (and frankly, i'm probably one of those people) then the end result will be a dangerous situation - potentially worse then it is now.
This setup should include a (pedestrian) fence for the 30m distance from the roundabout to the crossover to discourage exactly that.
The crossover will inconvenience cars, too, yet we would not accept drivers ignoring it. Why should we accept pedestrians ignoring it?
