NEAL, Judge,
concurring.
Recently this court handed down an opinion in City of Tell City, Indiana v. John Brian Noble, et al (1986), Ind.App., 489 N.E.2d 958, Ind.App. No. 4-1184 A 322, in which we held that the decision to erect or not erect a stop sign was immune under IND.CODE 34-4-16.5-8(6) and (7). U.S. Highway 41 is a state road and any decision to erect or not erect traffic control devices or crosswalks is likewise immune.
Additionally, in Tell City we analyzed the statutes on traffic control under IND. CODE 9-4-1-88 and Princes had no right whatever to erect any traffic control device, warning or crosswalk on U.S. Highway 41. Therefore, no duty, or even means, was available to Princes to aid Flan-igan's crossing at the road.
