Legal Research Home > California Lawyer > Government Code > California Government Code Section 831.3

Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable for
any injury occurring on account of the grading or the performance of
other maintenance or repair on or reconstruction or replacement of
any road which has not officially been accepted as a part of the road
system under the jurisdiction of the public entity if the grading,
maintenance, repair, or reconstruction or replacement is performed
with reasonable care and leaves the road in no more dangerous or
unsafe condition than it was before the work commenced.  No act of
grading, maintenance, repair, or reconstruction or replacement within
the meaning of this section shall be deemed to give rise to any duty
of the public entity to continue any grading, maintenance, repair,
or reconstruction or replacement on any road not a part of the road
system under the public entity's jurisdiction.  As used in this
section "reconstruction or replacement" means reconstruction or
replacement performed pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section
1160) of Chapter 4 of Division 2 of the Streets and Highways Code.
