Yes. Pinellas is a posted 30mph road and has a sidewalk to the trail that runs along Buena Vista. You show only the east side of the roundabout but the west side has the same configuration.

There are roads off Pinellas that lead into neighborhoods. Most of these roads do not have sidewalks or speed limit signs. It's hard to say if the lack of sidewalks there is due to a low expected traffic volume, an implied 20mph speed limit, or simply lack of space.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
