Syllabus

TOWNSHIP/COUNTY/STATE – STOP SIGN – IMMUNITY: The trial court did not err in dismissing plaintiff's complaint under Civ.R. 12(B)(6) against defendant township for damages he sustained in an accident that occurred when the stop sign that was normally present at an intersection of two streets in the township was missing, because the placement of a stop sign at that intersection was discretionary under the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and therefore, the stop sign was not part of the public roadway that the township was required to keep in repair, and the immunity exception in R.C. 2744.02(B)(3) did not apply.
