Car and pedestrian are each at a different stop sign 90 degrees apart.

Assume the bicyclist has already blown through the intersection without stopping.

You must always yield to pedestrians whether they have the legal right of way or not

Assuming there isn’t a crosswalk, the same rules apply as if the pedestrian were a vehicle. So whomever would be to the right goes first.

In Louisiana, it’s the law to yield to pedestrians.

not true in most states. In most states and municipalities, pedestrians have right of way. It is true in a few states.

That's a four way stop dilemma.
Do they all arrive at the same time?

Depends on what the pedestrian looks like. If she is hot I will let her go first so I can check her out.

If I see a pedestrian at a stop sign I’m gonna assume it’s a bum and not make eye contact. I definitely ain’t waiting around to see if he walks.

BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS: RIGHTS, AND ALSO RESPONSIBILITIES

By law, drivers must share the road with cyclists and pedestrians. But bicyclists and pedestrians have responsibilities, too. Ride and walk with safety in mind. Just like vehicle drivers, bicyclists must obey street signs, signals, and road markings. Always ride with traffic. Ride defensively, assuming others cannot see you. Ride attentively by never allowing yourself to be distracted by music, an electronic device, or anything else that takes your eyes off the road.

Finally, avoid riding on sidewalks when possible. That protects pedestrians using the sidewalks. It also protects bicyclists because sidewalks can end abruptly, forcing them into traffic unexpectedly. If you must ride on the sidewalk do so with extra caution.

Pedestrians should also follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals. They’re there to protect you. Only cross streets at crosswalks when they available, as drivers and pedestrians know to look for you there. If there’s no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from vehicles as possible. If there isn’t a crosswalk, cross at a well-lit place in the road where drivers can best see you.

The car, so that he can chase down the bike and run him into the bushes.
