Niles v. State of New York

In Niles v. State of New York (201 AD 2d 774, 776, 607 N.Y.S.2d 480), the Third Department stated, "we see no reason to disturb the Court of Claims' finding on the adequacy of the signage, particularly where the evidence showed that it was within the range of discretion sanctioned by the Manual." In other words, compliance with MUTCD can support a finding that the State was not negligent but it is not, in and of itself, proof that there was no negligence.
