Abstract:Primary issues involved in this case include:
– Four-inch to six-inch pavement edge dropoff
– Foreseeability of a vehicle’s leaving the traveled roadway
– County’s failure to warn of edge dropoff caused by resurfacing
– Immunity derived from the discretionary nature of county employee’s decisions.
