Argued February 10, 1988
Decision released February 22, 1988
Action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained as the alleged result of the defective condition of a highway under the defendant's control, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New Haven and tried to the jury before Burns, J.; verdict and judgment for the plaintiff, from which the defendant appealed to this court. No error.
Charles G. Albom, with whom, on the brief, was Patricia Cofrancesco, corporation counsel, for the appellant (defendant).
Arthur R. Riccio, Jr., for the appellee (plaintiff).
The defendant's first claim of error is that the defendant's stop sign, which was improperly located so as to be obscured from view, could not as a matter of law be a highway defect. This claim was not raised in the trial court in any way, and does not qualify for review under the plain error doctrine. The defendant's second claim of error, namely, that there was insufficient evidence of constructive notice, is without merit.
