Explanation
In this case, even though there is no crosswalk, you must still yield to pedestrians crossing your lane. This means that you must stop and let the pedestrian finish crossing your lane before you proceed. It is important to remember that pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked or unmarked crosswalks, so even if there is no crosswalk in this situation, you must still stop and let the pedestrian finish crossing.
