75mph signs start going up in KS
75mph Signs Go Up, As Speed Limit Goes Up Friday Starting tomorrow, drivers on some highways will be able to go 75 miles per hour. Reporter:Shawn Wheat Email Address:[email protected]Thursday, June 30, 2011 Starting tomorrow, drivers on some highways will be able to go 75 miles per hour. The Kansas Department of Transportation has been placing the new speed limit signs along highways Thursday in preparation for the change on Friday. According to a news release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the following location will see the speed limit change: • I-135 from a half-mile north of the 85th Street interchange in Harvey County to I-70 near Salina. • I-70 from the Colorado state line to just west of Topeka in Shawnee County. • I-35 from U.S. 50 just east of Emporia to a mile east of the Sunflower/Edgerton Interchange in Johnson County. • U.S. 81 from I-70 near Salina north to K-106. • U.S. 69 from just six-tenths of a mile north of the north junction of U.S. 54 in Bourbon County to the 199th Street Interchange in Johnson County. • The Kansas Turnpike from the Oklahoma state line to K-7 in Wyandotte County. A total of 807 miles of Kansas roads will be 75 miles per hour. KDOT hopes to have all the signs changed in time for the 4th of July holiday weekend. |

What makes it sucks out west of Hays is that I-70 breaks off a NW direction before going west again. I hate that section of the interstate.

I think some portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho had no speed limits in the late 60s early 70s. Someone correct me if Im wrong. |

This should have been done a long time ago, I drove to Co. Last summer via 1-70. There's NOTHING for five-six HOURS after Topeka. You get to Co. and see 75 mph and you're like "Gee, I wish my state wasn't run by idiots."
Actually, truth be told, 75 is too slow too. Kansas could garner some popularity and be the first state in the country to have the AutoBaun. If Germany can have one, where, get this, there's actually people and buildings, why the hell not Kansas? |

I've done the Ohio to Missouri several times. Illinois is excruciating.

That is true. I know in the fall would be good, seeing all those trees leaves changing from green to orange/red.

Good luck, wasn't I-35 (among others, I'm sure) 60mph only 10-15 years ago? I know it's all 70 now, but when I was in college I seem to remember cussing at going from the 70mph in MO to 60.
