494 So.2d 539 (1986)
Donna BURGE, et al.
v.
CITY OF HAMMOND, et al.
No. 86-C-1271.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
September 26, 1986.
2Per curiam
Granted. The court of appeal, 489 So.2d 1320, erred in holding as a matter of law that the Department of Transportation and Development owes no duty to an imprudent motorist under a comparative fault system, except in those instances in which the motorist would have recovered under the former contributory negligence system. Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeal is vacated, and the case is remanded to the court of appeal for reconsideration.
