Lawrence OKs De-urbanization Plan for 65 MPH Turnpike
Lawrence Kansas approves a boundary change allowing a 65 mph speed limit on the Kansas Turnpike segment between Topeka and Bonner Springs. The change moves to the Kansas Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration for final approval before the Turnpike Authority adjusts from 55 mph. The urbanized four mile corridor was excluded from rural interstates eligible for the higher limit. The federal law did not cover urbanized areas.
