Description

This is a tort action arising from an accident in which plaintiff, a pedestrian crossing a highway at a controlled T-intersection, was struck by a vehicle that entered the intersection on a red traffic signal. The principal issue is whether the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), the lone remaining defendant at trial, was liable for failing to set the cycle for the traffic signal so as to afford pedestrians a longer period of time to cross the highway under the protection of a red signal stopping highway traffic. We granted certiorari to examine the DOTD's conduct under a duty-risk analysis.
