Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial court's summary judgment in favor of the State, holding that the posting of a 50‑mph speed‑limit sign near Walkers Hollow does not create a "dangerous condition" under N.J.S.A. 59:4‑2 and is protected by discretionary‑function immunity. Justice Handler dissented, arguing that the sign misled drivers and created a palpable unreasonable danger.
