What sort of duty of care do municipal workers owe to the public when they're maintaining municipal facilities (like streets) which the public may happen upon? Just reasonable care? Or something more?

You'd think they would have it marked and covered with a board if they werent presently working on it. If they were working on it, they should probably have it marked with someone standing around to prevent such an accident.
