Defective Road Designs Throughout New York
New York roadways are dangerous enough with the amount of careless and reckless motorist driving on them every day. When you combine defective highway designs into the equation, the results can be tragic. Defective road designs are different from highway defects — highway defects require providing the municipality, county or state with prior notice.
A road can be designed defectively in many different ways. Some of the ways include:
- Incorrect curve pitches
- Sudden inclines and declines
- Poor visibility
- Signage
- Improper pedestrian crossings
- Lighting
Cities, counties and states that build roads in New York have a duty to do so in a safe manner. When their negligence leads to a serious or fatal accident, they should be held liable for their conduct.
