Kansas Eyes 75 MPH Speed Limit And Red Light Rule Change
Kansas lawmakers approved a bill to raise the speed limit to 75 mph on select highways and allow motorcycles and bicycles to proceed through certain red lights. The final vote was 23 14 in the Senate and 107 13 in the House, sending the measure to Gov. Sam Brownback for signature with an effective date of July 1.
