The opinion

MARDEN, Justice

(concurring).

I concur in the result.

The following sentence appears near the close of the opinion: “We can fairly assume, however, that the legislature did not intend to compel one to choose either the sidewalk or his left side of the highway, as the case may be, where such choice would *435 increase his risk of injury, from any source.” (Emphasis added.)

Respectfully, I dissent to the use of the phrase “from any source” insofar as it includes risks not attributable to highway traffic.

This is a copy of a public record, reproduced as it was published. It is not legal advice, and it may not be the version a court would rely on. Check the official source before you cite it.
