Long Straight Miles on I-70 and the Turnpike

Kansas is served by two main Interstates, I-70 and I-35. I-70 runs just over 424 miles from the Colorado line near Kanorado to Kansas City, through Colby, Hays, Salina, Junction City, Topeka and Lawrence. The Kansas Turnpike is a 236-mile toll road from the Oklahoma border through Wichita, Topeka and Lawrence to Kansas City, and it carries I-35 and part of I-70.

The state changes as you cross it. West of about US 83, the climate turns semi-arid. Summers there run very hot, and winters swing between warm and very cold, with chinook winds that can lift a western Kansas winter day into the 80s. The eastern two-thirds is more humid and gets more rain.

Spring and early summer bring the state's roughest weather: supercell storms, very large hail, flash flooding and straight-line winds. After one passes, you might be facing a flat tire, a car that stalled in high water, or one that needs a tow.

Kansas weather by the numbers

Snowfall ranges from about 5 inches a year on the southern fringe to about 35 inches in the far northwest.

Kansas law

What Kansas Law Says About Stopped Vehicles

Under K.S.A. 8-1530, drivers approaching a stopped emergency vehicle that's showing its signals, on a road with at least two lanes their way, must move to a lane that isn't next to it when that's possible and safe. Otherwise they must slow down and pass with caution. K.S.A. 8-1531 does the same for highway work vehicles with flashing lights. Neither section names tow trucks or broken-down cars, so don't count on traffic slowing for you. Get as far off the pavement as you can before you call.

A storm is coming and my car just died. What should I do?

If there's a tornado warning, get to shelter first and deal with the car after. Call us once the warning is over, tell us where you left the car, and we'll look for a partner who can get to it.
