Kansas City's Traffic Reform Proposals
Proposals urge removing most speed limits while classifying rapid driving as careless if hazardous. They call for central lanes to give fast traffic priority on major streets, lanes for cars on streetcar tracks in safety zones, and a synchronized downtown traffic light system to manage movement.
Rate of Travel Should Be Governed by Safety
Kansas City officials and judges push traffic reform moving away from fixed speed limits. Frank C. Lynch and Judge Carlin P. Smith favor common sense and safety over antiquated laws, proposing lane zoning, limited speed rules, and light-system improvements to ease flow. They plan further talks with city leaders and seek to raise or remove state speed limits.
