Question juridique clé
Whether the Täsch-Zermatt road had a defect under Art. 58 OR due to lack of protective structures
Solution extraite
No defect was established because, given the road's limited importance, the financing burden, and the absence of a legal duty to build a protection gallery, the Canton was not required to create such works at that location.
Motifs extraits
For public roads, the required safety standard is lower and must be assessed in light of the road's purpose, traffic volume, and the public authority's financial capacity. The omission of a costly protective gallery was not unreasonable.
