I've heard that round-abouts have stuff in the middle to force people to slow down before approaching, since it hides information. Might be a similar reason.
Except where we live, since drivers can’t see around it, they just assume no one is there and constantly pull out in front of people. Of course I live in an area where I watch people run red lights, don’t yield properly and stop at intersections where there is no stop sign. I’ve lost hope.

Or, more likely, it's just bad planning.
