  • finding the failure to maintain a traffic post in a safe condition “was no more than negligence; it was not a nuisance”
  • stating the court properly resubmitted the case to the jury when answers in special verdict were internally inconsistent in that the jury found negligence, but no proximate cause and then proceeded further to award damages
  • stating “inherent danger” for nuisance claim was not met where alleged failure to maintain lawful traffic post in a safe condition “was no more than negligence; it was not a nuisance” and therefore, court erred in submitting the issue of nuisance as a separate theory
