OPINION

SCHUMACHER, Judge.

Carver County appeals from the denial of its motion for summary judgment in a wrongful death action arising out of an automobile accident that occurred at an intersection of a county road and a state highway. Because we conclude that Carver County is entitled to vicarious official immunity for the claimed negligence of the county's traffic engineer in installing traffic control devices, we reverse.
