The state of Kansas builds a little city in the middle of their freeways consisting of gasoline pumps, fast food, chachka shops and huge clean restrooms. It's kind of a "rest area" concept from California with businesses. The cool thing about all this is that it can service traffic in both directions since these "rest-gasoline-eat" areas are located in the center divider with left hand lane exits. I am guessing that the state of Kansas has some lease arrangement with the businesses so that they can fund the construction and maintenance of these islands of commerce. Great idea people of Kansas! I enjoyed my stop at your rest area! Very convenient and very well done! (I also liked the advertisement of to be a trooper also! Great poster!) read more

Kansas Turnpike Authority - Wohaa! Does this guy know I've been speeding? I better slow my ass down!! - Public Services & Government Near Me

Why are just about all the Pay Booths without People in them? And some spots you get on the Turnpike in Witchita don't dispense the Tickets. Then you try to figure out where to get off the Turnpike because your lost and you get to an off ramp with no Person there and there's no Ticket to put in the Machine for it to lift the Gate to go through. What are you supposed to do? With a line of Cars behind you. They said there is a button to push. It's dark so you can't see anything anyway. Terrible. When will the Highway be paid for anyway? There's been a Toll since the fiftys. My next Trip will be on Highway 50 where there are real places to eat and Gas Stations. read more
