Turnpike tolls and traffic volumes report reveals busy lanes
Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock details a 108.5 million annual toll haul on the Turnpike with 53.7 percent of traffic at eight interchanges between Kansas City and Lecompton. The busiest 14 mile stretch carries over 21,000 vehicles daily per direction. Passenger cars account for 89 percent of traffic, while commercial vehicles provide over a third of toll revenue. Tolls vary by axle count, not weight, delaying weight-based pricing due to maintenance needs.
