Responsa for Bava Kamma 55:23
רב משרשיא אמר בנותן להם דרך עקלתון
Come and hear: IF A MAN PLACES A PITCHER ON PUBLIC GROUND AND ANOTHER ONE COMES AND STUMBLES OVER IT AND BREAKS IT, HE IS EXEMPT. Now, is not this so only when the other one stumbled over it, whereas in the case of directly breaking it there is liability?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus opposing the view of R.

Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A put a stone in front of his door which opens into the yard of the synagogue. The members of the community object to it, on the ground that it is a stumbling block and a nuisance.
A. One is not permitted to put anything in the public domain, without permission from the proper authorities. Therefore, A must remove the stone from the public property, unless he had received permission [from the community] to put it there.
SOURCES: Pr. 235.
