(a) Except where the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur is
applicable, the happening of the accident which results in the injury
is not in and of itself evidence that public property was in a
dangerous condition.
   (b) The fact that action was taken after an injury occurred to
protect against a condition of public property is not evidence that
the public property was in a dangerous condition at the time of the
injury.
