In Long v. Cleary ( 273 AD 2d 799, 709 N.Y.S.2d 741), the Fourth Department observed that the defendant City was not required by the MUTCD to place skip lines on a certain street, but the result in that case, once again, was based on the absence of a causal connection between defendant's actions and the injury: "The record is devoid of proof that the City's negligence, if any, was a proximate cause of the accident and plaintiff's resulting injury..."
