It's a known problem, a little more serious here than at other mini-roundabouts (of which a great number were installed mainly because if they were part of local safety schemes, authorities used to get quite a lot of additional money; they're not all bad, but this one definitely is). The junction needs proper speed control measures at the northbound and southbound entry points. (Signalisation would be overkill and conflict with existing signals at Downham Road.) The 20mph limit is very recent and hasn't been tested yet, although Southgate Road would certainly be an excellent spot for targeted enforcement. A recent scheme by Hackney improved the situation a little by making the presence of cyclists crossing E-W more obvious, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
