Syllabus

MUNICIPAL – POLITICAL SUBDIVISION – TORT IMMUNITY: Because the city had tort immunity for crosswalk signs and lines that it provided at a midblock crosswalk, the trial court erred when it failed to grant the city's Civ.R. 12(C) motion for judgment on the pleadings. Traffic-control devices such as crosswalk signs and lines are not mandated at midblock crosswalks by R.C. 4511.65(A) or the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and so are not part of a public road and do not fall within the public-roads exception to political subdivision tort immunity.
