for a traffic violation that I don't agree with. Whom may I contact for
legal questions? |

| QUESTION 6 |
I've seen some mile
markers along the road. How are those established? It seems like some
are not a mile apart. |
| |
| Answer: |
The markers were originally installed a mile apart. However,
over time, routes are increased or decreased in length due to construction
projects. Because of this, we refer to them as "reference" markers
instead of mile markers. It would not be practical to relocate all the
markers along the route every time the length of the route changed. Also,
many statistics are tied to the reference markers, such as accident locations,
and historical records would no longer be accurate if the markers were
relocated. For your information, the reference markers increase from south
to north for odd numbered routes and from west to east for even numbered
routes. (For example, reference marker 20 on US-36 is approximately 20
miles from the Colorado border.) |

| QUESTION 7 |
Our city limit extends
quite a bit farther out than the City Limit sign is placed. Why isn't
it located properly? |
| |
| Answer: |
City Limit signs are placed at the location where the city
limit crosses the highway. Often, a city has annexed one side of the highway
farther than the other side. If you feel there is an error in the location,
please contact your City. They can then provide necessary documentation
regarding the city limits to our Bureau of Transportation Planning. |
| |
| QUESTION 8 |
When are Stop Ahead
signs used on approaches to the state highway? |
| |
| Answer: |
If another state highway must stop, two Stop Ahead signs are
used. If a major county road must stop, one Stop Ahead sign is used. Stop
Ahead signs are used on other approaches when the sight distance is limited.
An engineering study may also recommend Stop Ahead signs. |
"...to provide a statewide transportation system to meet the needs of Kansas."
