Municipalities and the private companies they hire have a duty to ensure that roads and bridges are designed to specific safety provisions. The failure to do so could cause automobile or other accidents to occur. Furthermore, municipalities and subcontracted companies have a duty to make sure that roads and bridges are maintained in a safe manner so that they can be safely traveled on.  Roads and bridges also tend to fall into disrepair over time unless timely repaired or maintained thereby becoming dangerous during the winter months or with heavy rainfall.

The failure to adequately design and maintain roads and bridges can cause automobile and other accidents to unnecessarily occur. The law is very specific as to what rules and regulations must be followed to prevent injury.
