That can work... there's quite a few roundabouts in the UK that have pedestrian crossings on each road leading off it. You space them about two or three car lengths from the roundabout so that there's a little bit of room for cars to queue when the lights are red, and you make the lights always stay green unless a pedestrian pushes the button (i.e. the lights aren't controlling the traffic otherwise). Usually such crossings take a bit longer to change to allow pedestrians past, too, to avoid too much congestion.

Oh, but they're everywhere!
Vote parent up, 'tis true.
Sadly it requires specific hardware (an authentication chip) inside the device, but I'd wager that's how this example was made.
