Legal Research Home > California Lawyer > Government Code > California Government Code Section 830.8

Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable
under this chapter for an injury caused by the failure to provide
traffic or warning signals, signs, markings or devices described in
the Vehicle Code.  Nothing in this section exonerates a public entity
or public employee from liability for injury proximately caused by
such failure if a signal, sign, marking or device (other than one
described in Section 830.4) was necessary to warn of a dangerous
condition which endangered the safe movement of traffic and which
would not be reasonably apparent to, and would not have been
anticipated by, a person exercising due care.
