of N.J.S.A 59:4-4. That statute provides: Subject to section 59:4-2 of this act, a public entity shall be liable for injury proximately caused by its failure to provide emergency signals, signs, markings or other devices if such devices were necessary to warn of a dangerous condition which endangered the safe movement of traffic and which would not be reasonably apparent to, and would not have been anticipated by, a person exercising due care. According to the statute, a public entity is liable only if it fails to provide an “emergency” traffic signal. N.J.S.A. 59:4-4 applies only to conditions that are “sudden, unexpected [or] emergent.” Spin Co. v. Maryland Casualty Co., 136 N.J.Super. 520, 524, 347 A.2d 20 (Law Div.1975); accord Weiss, supra, 128 N.J. at 383-84, 608 A.2d 254 (<HOLDING>). As the Appellate Division correctly stated in
