In Siefert, et al. v. State (1989), 42 Ill. Ct. Cl. 8, the Court held that, where the shoulders of a highway are in poor repair and unreasonably dangerous and a car is caused to go out of control after having left the main traveled portion of the highway as a result of poor maintenance and repair of the shoulders, and the State has actual or constructive notice of the condition, the State is liable for damages proximately resulting therefrom. The Siefert case followed Welch v. State (1966), 25 Ill. Ct. Cl. 270, which found liability in a case involving extremely hazardous conditions existing on the shoulder of a road, and involved a truck evidently intentionally attempting to pull onto the shoulder to avoid an accident. The Court stated: "It is clear that the Respondent is required to maintain the highway and the shoulder in a manner reasonably safe for its intended purposes. Obviously, the standard of care is higher for the highway than the shoulder, since the reasonably intended use of the highway requires a greater level of care than the shoulder.
