Yellow brick road
The Yellow Brick Road is a fictional element in the 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by American author L. Frank Baum. The road also appears in the several sequel Oz books such as The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904) and The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1913).
Peekskill Military Academy
A yellow brick road made of Dutch pavers, which used to lead from the steamboat dock to the academy and of which only one section remains as part of a parking lot, is thought by city historian John Curran, among others, to be the inspiration for the Yellow Brick Road in alumnus L. Frank Baum's Oz books including the Wizard of Oz. U.S. Route 71 in Missouri
A few miles east of Joplin, I-49 and US 71 leave I-44 and heads north and enters Carthage. Due to the freeway being built, old sections of the highway have been bypassed and become county roads. I-49 and US 71 pass through Nevada and other communities before reaching the Kansas City area. In south Kansas City, at Bannister Road just north of the Grandview Triangle, US 71 ends its concurrency with I-49, and continues into downtown Kansas City as Bruce R. Watkins Memorial Drive. US 71 loses its freeway status for 3 blocks in Kansas City before becoming a freeway again and entering Downtown Kansas City. It is very unlikely that the freeway will continue all the way through, as a court order prevents the stoplights to be bypassed, even though MoDot has the necessary right of way to do so. Kansas City, Missouri
Downtown Kansas City is an area of bounded by the Missouri River to the north, 31st Street to the south, Troost Avenue to the East, and State Line Road to the west. Areas near Downtown Kansas City include the 39th Street District, which is known as Restaurant Row, and features one of Kansas City's largest selections of independently owned restaurants and boutique shops. It is a center of literary and visual arts, and bohemian culture. Crown Center is the headquarters of Hallmark Cards and a major downtown shopping and entertainment complex. It is connected to Union Station by a series of covered walkways. The Country Club Plaza, or simply "the Plaza", is an upscale, outdoor shopping and entertainment district. It was the first suburban shopping district in the United States, designed to accommodate shoppers arriving by automobile, and is surrounded by apartments and condominiums, including a number of high rise buildings. The associated Country Club District to the south includes the Sunset Hill and Brookside neighborhoods, and is traversed by Ward Parkway, a landscaped boulevard known for its statuary, fountains and large, historic homes. Kansas City's Union Station is home to Science City, restaurants, shopping, theaters, and the city's Amtrak facility.After years of neglect and seas of parking lots, Downtown Kansas City is undergoing a period of change with over $6 billion in development since 2000. Many residential properties recently have been or are under redevelopment in three surrounding warehouse loft districts and the Central Business District. The Power & Light District, a new, nine-block entertainment district comprising numerous restaurants, bars, and retail shops, was developed by the Cordish Company of Baltimore, Maryland. Its first tenant opened on November 9, 2007. It is anchored by the Sprint Center, a 19,000-seat sports and entertainment complex. Keighley, Kansas
Until 1925, Keighley was a stop on the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway, east of Augusta. That changed after the first oil strike. The small trading post grew to a community of 500 people and included a grain elevator, a hardware store, hotel, lumber yard, café, post office and general store. In 1927, Keighley District completed at a cost of $15,000 a brick school building. In 1926, a fire destroyed the lumber yard and hotel. The brick school house burned down and was replaced in 1948 by a school house of cinder block, which still stands. By 1934, the once busy roads of Keighley were again simply highways. Today, it is on U.S. Route 400 east of Leon, Kansas and west of Beaumont, Kansas. Interstate 49
Most of the 10.2-mile corridor, constructed between 1990 and 2001, was built to Interstate standards. However, three at-grade intersections—at Gregory Boulevard (71st Street), 59th Street and 55th Street—prevent the I-49 designation from being extended all the way to downtown. All three of these intersections were on the Kansas City Police Department's 2010 list of "Top 20 Crash Sites in Kansas City", at #9, #6 and #4 respectively and Watkins Drive has the reputation among commuters as "one of the city's most accident-prone stretches of road". Many neighborhood associations in Kansas City have historically objected to upgrading Watkins Drive to a freeway. MoDOT has gone on record stating a court order keeps them from removing the stoplights, making conversion of this stretch unlikely. As for any future upgrade, a MoDOT blog post says "Ample right of way was acquired to someday allow MoDOT to reconstruct the three signal-controlled, at-grade intersections to grade-separated interchanges, allowing traffic on Bruce R. Watkins Drive to flow unimpeded. Neither MoDOT nor the city of Kansas City can initiate this change. It is up to the citizens, who must raise the issue again through the court system to amend the class-action agreement." Yellow brick road
Dallas, Texas makes a claim that Baum once stayed at a downtown hotel during his newspaper career (located near what is now the Triple Underpass) at a time when the streets were paved with wooden blocks of Bois D'Arc also known as Osage Orange. Supposedly, after a rainstorm the sun came out and he saw a bright yellow brick road from the window of his room. State Street (Salt Lake County)
Just inside the boundaries of South Salt Lake, State Street passes the world's first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise, which is on the west side of the street. The location is still a KFC restaurant, but the original building has been replaced with a new one. A few blocks north of that is the Avalon Theater. South of 3300 South (State Route 171), there is a Chinatown-themed development. State Street crosses Mill Creek at approximately 3000 South and then passes a combined Granite School District elementary school and administration building located in a former hospital at around 2500 South. State Street provides access to I-80 at I-80's exit 124. South Salt Lake's city hall is just to the east of State Street in this area, on the south side of I-80. Beyond I-80, State Street crosses the S Line (formerly known as Sugar House Streetcar) right-of-way and passes through an area with many disused industrial buildings that is planned for redevelopment in connection with the streetcar project. K-99 (Kansas highway)
K-99 passes Emporia Municipal Airport and enters the city of Emporia on Commercial Street by crossing the Cottonwood River parallel to the historic Soden's Grove Bridge, a Marsh arch bridge. The highway passes by Soden Park, the site of the David Traylor Zoo of Emporia, and the historic Hallie B. Soden House and to the west of the Richard Howe House in the city's south end. K-99 enters the Emporia Downtown Historic District by crossing at grade the three-track BNSF Railway. North of its intersection with US-50 (6th Avenue), the highway passes by the Granada Theater, the Lyon County History Center, and the Kress Building and east of the Keebler-Stone House. North of downtown, K-99 passes east of the Warren Wesley Finney House and west of the Harris-Borman House and the William Allen White House State Historic Site, a house also known as Red Rocks. At 12th Avenue, which leads west to the Walt Mason House and the Andrew Carnegie Memorial Library, Commercial Street ends at the south end of the Emporia State University campus. K-99 turns west onto 12th Avenue and north onto Merchant Street to pass along the west side of the campus, which includes the Johnston Geology Museum, the Schmidt Museum of Natural History, and the National Teachers Hall of Fame. At the north end of campus, the highway has a diamond interchange with I-35 and leaves the city of Emporia by crossing the Neosho River. Red Brick Roads
The Red Brick Roads, in Pullman, Washington, are a block of NE Maple St. and a block of NE Palouse St. and together are the last remaining brick streets in the city. The roads, paved in 1913, are important landmarks because they made transportation easier along the only of the city's Star routes, providing an essential connection between the Northern Pacific Railroad depot and the growing campus of Washington State College (now known as Washington State University). The steepest part of the route to campus (which included the block of what is today NE Maple St. and NE Palouse St.) received brick paving to provide traction for horses and automobiles—particularly during the difficult winter months. List of state highway spurs in Kansas
K-22 is a spur route that serves the city of Haddam in west central Washington County.
K-30 is a spur route that serves the city of Maple Hill in northeastern Wabaunsee County.
K-41 is a spur route that serves the city of Delphos in north central Ottawa County.
K-46 was a north–south spur of US-56 that served the town of Little River. K-46 first appeared on the 1937 Kansas highway map. It was removed from the highway system on June 3, 2013.
K-67 is a spur route that serves the Kansas Department of Corrections Norton Correctional Facility east of Norton in central Norton County. The highway begins at US-36 and K-383, which run concurrently east–west, and immediately has a grade crossing of the Kyle Railroad. K-67 passes along the east side of the state prison and crosses Prairie Dog Creek before reaching its northern terminus at the next section line road. K-67 has existed since at least January 1938. Before K-67 provided access to Norton Correctional Facility, the highway served Norton State Hospital on the same site. The state hospital closed in 1988. K-126 (Kansas highway)
After leaving the downtown section of Pittsburg, K-126 passes over a railroad that serves both the South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad and the Kansas City Southern Railway. The road runs south of a city park, then heads through another residential neighborhood. After passing Pittsburg High School, K-126 exits Pittsburg and crosses East Cow Creek. East of the city, K-126 travels through a hilly, lightly wooded area for about before it bends to the southeast and terminates at the Missouri state line. The road continues eastward into Missouri as Missouri Route 126 toward Golden City. Interstate 35 in Kansas
I-35 enters Kansas from Oklahoma where the southern terminus of the Kansas Turnpike is located. After passing exit 4 for US Highway 166 (US-166) in South Haven, the interstate passes through a toll plaza, making I-35 into a toll road. The highway then passes US-160 in Wellington, then the Belle Plaine Service Area, the first of three on I-35, and the first of six on the turnpike. After the service area, the turnpike continues due north to Wichita and intersects I-135. After the I-135 interchange, the turnpike turns northeast and goes around Downtown Wichita. I-35 passes through Wichita's suburbs and in the process intersects US-54 and US-400. north of the Wichita area lies the Towanda Service Area. Thereafter, the route intersects US-77 and various state highways in El Dorado. After El Dorado, the highway enters the Flint Hills region of Kansas. After passing the Cassoday interchange, the turnpike begins its stretch with no exits. The only stop along the way is the Matfield Green Service Area. Located north of Cassoday, it is also the last service area on I-35. After the remaining with no exits or services, I-35 leaves the turnpike in Emporia. Here the interstate meets I-335, which the Turnpike carries towards Topeka. Rainbow Bridge (Kansas)
The bridge is fairly narrow, and due to traffic on the road, a replacement bridge has been built. The road curves toward the new bridge toward Baxter Springs, but a short, one-way road carries traffic to the Rainbow Bridge, which may still be crossed. This was part of a compromise after a disagreement between the county and the Kansas Route 66 Association as federal funds used for construction of the new bridge required demolition of the old. The bridge had been listed with the National Register, which prohibited condemnation of the old bridge. Fifteenth Street and Oklahoma Avenue Brick Street
The Fifteenth Street and Oklahoma Avenue Brick Street is a section of brick pavement on Fifteenth Street and Oklahoma Avenue in Mattoon, Illinois. The section of pavement covers eight blocks of Fifteenth Street and one block of Oklahoma Avenue at the south end of the Fifteenth Street section. The H. W. Clark Company paved the streets in 1924. The company first laid a concrete substructure and concrete curbs. An intermediate layer of sand and tar was laid on top of the concrete, and the bricks were placed on top of this layer. The segment of brick street accounts for nearly all of Mattoon's remaining brick streets, as less than 20% of its original brick street system has not been paved over with asphalt. Kansas Turnpike
Because the Kansas Turnpike was built before the Interstate Highway System, it is not engineered to current Interstate Highway standards; however, as with all other toll roads that predated the Interstate Highway System, the highway is grandfathered from Interstate standards. The turnpike was originally constructed with lanes only wide. Notably, the turnpike was built without a median. When it opened, the central reservation was a depressed median. Starting in 1985, Jersey barriers were installed along its entire length. K-171 (Kansas highway)
K-171 begins at a four-way stop south of Pittsburg. The west arm of this intersection serves as US-400, the north arm carries US-69 and 160, the south arm is US-69, 160, and 400, and the east arm forms the beginning of K-171. From this intersection, the highway heads due east to Opolis. The highway begins to curve to the south just before crossing the state line and becoming Route 171 in Missouri. The entire route travels through mostly rural fields. The total length of the route is . K-171 is not a part of the United States National Highway System. The first of the route is paved with composite pavement and has annual average daily traffic values of 2600, while the remaining is paved with full design bituminous pavement and has annual average daily traffic values of 3271.

Heritage streetcar lines are operating in over 20 U.S. cities, and are in planning or construction stages in others. Several new heritage streetcar lines have been opened since the 1970s; some are stand-alone lines while others make use of a section of a modern light rail system.
Heritage streetcar systems operating in Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; New Orleans, Louisiana; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (SEPTA route 15) and Tampa, Florida are among the larger examples. A heritage line operates in Charlotte, North Carolina and will become a part of the city's new transit system. Another such line, called The Silver Line, operates in San Diego. The San Francisco Municipal Railway, or Muni, runs exclusively historic trolleys on its heavily used F Market & Wharves line, serving Market Street and the tourist areas along the Embarcadero, including Fisherman's Wharf. Boston's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority runs exclusively PCC streetcars on its Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line, part of that authority's Red Line. The historic rolling stock is retained because doing so cost less than would a full rebuild of the line to accommodate either a heavy rail line (like the rest of the Red Line or the Blue or Orange Lines) or a modern light rail line (like the Green Line). It is also unique in that it used almost exclusively by commuters and is not particularly popular with tourists (and thus may not really be a true heritage system, despite the historic rolling stock). Pink House (Kansas City, Missouri)
The Pink House is a historic home located at Kansas City, Missouri. It was designed by architect Mary Rockwell Hook and built in 1922. It became known as the "Pink House" for its pink plaster exterior, which was a reference to San Francisco, whose 1915 world fair Hook had visited. It is a two-story dwelling with stucco walls, red clay roofing tile, three balconies, and brick chimney with an arcaded, roofed opening atop its stack. Kentucky Route 67 (1929–1969)
Mouth of Bear Creek Road is a locally maintained road located in Edmonson County, Kentucky. The road was part of an original alignment of the original KY 67 from that state highway's 1929 establishment until its decommissioning in 1967. The road is long.
Kentucky Route 655 (KY 655) is a rural secondary state highway in Edmonson County. The latter of KY 655, along with the county-maintained Mouth of Bear Creek Road, was the original course of KY 67 through the area until the 1967 decommissioning of that route, connecting the Windyville-Asphalt-Segal area directly to Warren County. KY 655 is currently a C-shaped route serving as a farm-to-market style road that neanders around the area, both termini are with intersections with KY 70. The total length of the current KY 655 routing is . Rock Creek, Kansas
Rock Creek (also known as Cooks Ford) is an unincorporated community in Rock Creek Township, Jefferson County, Kansas, United States. It lies along 110th Road near its intersection with K-4. K-4 used to run along Rock Creek Road and originally cut through Rock Creek, but years later the highway was widened and rebuilt just east of Rock Creek. The community is located at (39.2458313, -95.5371988), at an elevation of 1,099 feet (335 m). Kyrock, Kentucky
In 1918, the town was incorporated into a town that was built by the Kentucky Rock Asphalt Company, which the town’s name, Kyrock, is derived from. During the company’s heyday in the 1920s, the company mined, processed, and shipped hundreds of tons of rock asphalt, by way of both the Nolin and Green Rivers. This was done to eventually pave roadways in areas where they were not previously served by minor or major roadways at the time. The company itself began operations in 1917 after a merger between two companies involved in rock mining and paving. Eight new quarries and a processing facility, which ended up becoming a vital part of the county’s history, opened at the site that would become part of the town, which was incorporated in 1918. The material generated by the company, made of silica sand, was the first material ever laid for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The asphalt rock from Kyrock was also used to pave the streets of major cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Havana, Cuba. Kansas City, Kansas
Village West is a business and entertainment district located at the intersection of Interstates 70 and 435. Anchored by the Kansas Speedway, tenants include Hollywood Casino, The Legends At Village West, Cabela's, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Great Wolf Lodge, T-Bones Stadium, the home stadium of the Kansas City T-Bones of the American Association, and Children's Mercy Park, the home stadium of the Sporting Kansas City Major League Soccer franchise. Schlitterbahn Vacation Village, a resort and waterpark, opened across I-435 from Village West in June 2009. 23rd Street viaduct
The 23rd Street viaduct is an automobile crossing of the Kansas River, and south of the Rock Island Bridge (Kansas City).
It was built in 1921, and rebuilt in 2007.
It is an elevated deck truss, and about 3,000 feet long.
It survived the 1951, and 1993 Kansas City floods.
It has two side approaches, one to the south, one to the north, and rises above the south part of the West Bottoms, and the parking lot to Kemper Arena.
Its real name is the Kansas Avenue Bridge, but, because the primary half of it is in Missouri, it is called the 23rd Street viaduct more than the Kansas Avenue Bridge. Red Crown Tourist Court
Buck agreed in principle with the idea of a long rest, but disagreed with the choice of Kansas City because the bloody Kansas City Massacre of some weeks earlier meant that numerous federal, state, and local police officers were yet seeking gangsters in the area. The brothers fought bitterly about the plan before lapsing into a toxic silence that enveloped the car. Late that night they pulled in to refuel at Slim's Castle, a service station, café, and convenience store at the busy Platte City intersection known locally as "The Junction," and the Red Crown Tourist Court across the street caught Clyde Barrow's eye. What attracted him initially was the sturdy brick construction of the place, which made him feel secure, he would tell his family later. To his hot, dirty, cross passengers he said, "This is where we stay the rest of the night, even if we all get killed before morning." U.S. Route 66 in Kansas
U.S. Route 66 (US 66, Route 66), the historic east–west US highway between Chicago, Illinois and Santa Monica, California, passed through one brief segment in the southeastern corner of Kansas. It entered the state south of Baxter Springs and continued north until it crossed the Brush Creek, from where it turned east and left the state in Galena. After the decertification of the highway in 1985, this road segment was numbered as US-69 (alternate) from Quapaw, Oklahoma north to Riverton, Kansas and as K-66 (Kansas highway) from Riverton east to Route 66 in Missouri.

KY 1399 was designated by 1955. The route originally intersected US 60 in Simpsonville, but was closed at the community of Veechdale when I-64 was opened in the early 1960s. The highway was rerouted to what is now Buck Creek Road (KY 1848) and then reconnected just south of I-64. In 2013, the road was rerouted again with the construction of the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass near the intersection of KY 1399 and KY 1848. It was moved south of the mall and reconfigured to provide access to it.
Kentucky Route 1408 is a rural secondary highway in southwestern Oldham County and northwestern Shelby County. The highway begins at KY 146 (La Grange Road) in the city of Crestwood. KY 1408 heads southeast along Floydsburg Road through the eponymous village. The highway crosses Currys Fork of Floyds Fork and meets the western end of KY 1818 (West Mount Zion Road). KY 1408 crosses Floyds Fork into Shelby County and reaches its eastern terminus at KY 362 (Aiken Road) west of Todds Point.
Kentucky Route 1425 is a supplemental road in the city of Lexington in Fayette County. The highway is the state-maintained easternmost portion of Man o' War Boulevard, a circumferential arterial highway on the south side of Lexington between a pair of junctions with US 60. KY 1425 crosses North Elkhorn Creek on its course between I-75 and US 60 (Winchester Road).
Kentucky Route 1435 is a rural secondary highway in western Warren County and eastern Butler County. The highway begins at US 68 and KY 80, which run concurrently along Veterans Memorial Lane around the north side of the city of Bowling Green. KY 1435 heads northwest along Barren River Road, which comes close to the meanders of the Barren River several times on its course. The highway meets the western end of KY 2665 (Glenn Lily Road) at Barren River. KY 1435 passes between meanders of the Barren River and the Gasper River and crosses the latter river at its mouth at Rockland, where the route meets the northern end of KY 626 (Highland Church Road). The highway crosses a pair of unnamed streams that feed the Barren River and passes through Guy before crossing the Warren–Butler county line, where the route follows Guy Road. KY 1435 crosses the William H. Natcher Parkway and Hocker Branch of Little Muddy Creek before reaching its terminus at US 231 (Bowling Green Road) north of Needmore.
Kentucky Route 1468 is a rural secondary highway in the city of Morgantown in central Butler County. The highway follows Gardner Road between Main Street, on which US 231 and KY 79 run concurrently, and KY 70 (Veterans Way) west of the William H. Natcher Parkway.
Kentucky Route 1472 is a rural secondary highway almost entirely in far eastern Shelby County with a short segment in Franklin County. The highway begins at KY 395 (Waddy Road) near Harrisonville. KY 1472 heads north along Hickory Ridge Road, which closely parallels and sometimes runs on top of the Shelby–Anderson county line. The highway meets the eastern end of KY 2867 (Kings Highway) and crosses over an R.J. Corman Railroad Group line southeast of Waddy. KY 1472 continues northeast along the Shelby–Franklin county line before the highway briefly crosses into Franklin County, where it crosses over I-64 with no access. The highway returns to the Shelby County community of Graefenburg, where the route crosses Goose Creek, meets the western end of KY 2256, and intersects US 60 (Frankfort Road). KY 1472 follows curvaceous Mink Run Road north to its terminus at KY 1779 (Benson Pike) near Hatton. Yocemento, Kansas
Over 1915–1916, the Ellis County government extended the Yocemento Road to Ellis to complete the county's segment of the Kansas City-Denver Golden Belt Road though the county. The extension started at the section line where the St. Agnes Church stood, running straight west along Third Street (see Yost's plan above) to cross the track; from that crossing, it ran along the south of the track through Ellis. Much of the Golden Belt Road became U.S. Route 40 in 1926, thus the earliest road from Hays "through the heart" of Yocemento was the only segment of the original "Highway 40" alignment between Wilson and Wallace to run along the north side of the Kansas Pacific tracks, making two grade crossings to do so. Due to the inconvenience and accidents at the west crossing, this matter was eventually corrected. Kansas Turnpike
Northeast of the Cassoday interchange, the Kansas Turnpike enters Chase County. In the median at mile 97, just north of the county line, is the Matfield Green Service Area. Approximately northeast of the service area, an interchange provides access to a set of cattle pens southeast of Bazaar. Other than these two service exits, there are no interchanges within Chase County; upon leaving it, the turnpike passes into Lyon County.
The next interchange along the turnpike is Exit 127 (Emporia). At this trumpet interchange, Interstate 35 leaves the turnpike to head east through Emporia, the county seat of Lyon County, on its way northeast to Kansas City via Ottawa. Interstate 35 and U.S. Route 50. The interchange, as opened in 1956 with the original turnpike, connected directly to US-50 at Overlander Street; a different configuration opened along with the connecting piece of I-35. In 2005, KTA approved reconstruction of the Emporia interchange to improve connections to US-50, I-35, and the city of Emporia, resulting in the present configuration. This project, funded by the Turnpike Authority, the Kansas Department of Transportation, and the city of Emporia, was completed in 2008. K-5 (Kansas highway)
K-5 is a state highway in northeastern Kansas. Remaining completely in the Kansas City metropolitan area, it connects Leavenworth to Kansas City.
K-5 begins on Sunshine Road at US-69 just south of the US 69 Missouri River Bridge. From there, it heads west until it turns off of Sunshine Rd. onto its own freeway alignment, which lasts for about . It then merges onto Interstate 635 south, then follows Leavenworth Road west until it meets Interstate 435. K-5 merges onto northbound I-435, splitting off two exits later. After heading north on 97th Street, and turning onto Hutton Road, it then follows Wolcott Drive towards Lansing. Inside the Lansing area, it turns onto 8th Street, then onto Muncie Drive in Leavenworth. K-5 then ends at 4th Street (US-73/K-7) in Leavenworth. Geology of Kansas
The Red Hills cover a section of southern Kansas in Clark, Comanche, and Barber counties along the Oklahoma border. The Red Hills are named for their color derived from the Permian red beds which outcrop and underlie the region. The red color is produced by abundant iron oxides in the weathering sediments. The region is underlain by red shales, siltstones, and sandstones along with interbedded dolomites and gypsum evaporite layers. Massive gypsum deposits are mined near Sun City in northwestern Barber County. The Gyp Hills near Medicine Lodge were named for the gypsum of the Blaine Formation. The soluble gypsum, anhydrite and dolomite produce many caves in the area. The Big Basin of Clark County is a 2 km diameter, 35 m deep, dissolution collapse feature that formed by the dissolution of salt beds in the subsurface. K-99 (Kansas highway)
K-99 crosses Allen Creek and crosses over the I-335 portion of the Kansas Turnpike. The highway turns east, crosses the turnpike again, and turns north again south of its junction with K-170. K-99 crosses the turnpike for the third and final time and crosses Duck Creek and Hill Creek on its way to Admire. Within the city, the highway intersects a rail trail along a former Missouri Pacific Railroad line, and north of town, the route intersects US-56. K-99 crosses One Hundred and Forty-Two Mile Creek and Elm Creek, whose confluence form the Marais des Cygnes River, before the highway enters Wabaunsee County. The highway meets the western end of K-31 and crosses Dragoon Creek before entering the city of Eskridge, within which the route follows 3rd Avenue and passes to the north of the Eskridge Bandstand. K-99 intersects K-4 (Main Street), and the two highways head west out of town together. The routes pass to the north of Lake Wabaunsee, around which the lake's circumferential road crosses two historic stone arch bridges. West of the lake, K-4 and K-99 follow a curvaceous path—compared with following section line roads—before the highways diverge. Kansas City, Missouri
Missouri and Kansas were the first states to start building interstates with Interstate 70. Interstate 435, which encircles the entire city, is the second longest beltway in the nation. (Interstate 275 around Cincinnati, Ohio is the longest.) The Kansas City metro area has more limited access highway lane-miles per capita than any other large US metro area, over 27% more than the second-place Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, over 50% more than the average American metropolitan area. The Sierra Club blames the extensive freeway network for excessive sprawl and the decline of central Kansas City. On the other hand, the relatively uncongested road network contributes significantly to Kansas City's position as one of America's largest logistics hubs. Business routes of Interstate 29
Interstate 29 Business is a Business Loop of Interstate 29 in Saint Joseph, Missouri. It begins at a diamond interchange with Exit 44 (U.S. Route 169 in Missouri), and heads northwest, overlapping that route. After a bridge over a former Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad line (now Burlington Northern and Santa Fe) BL-29 has an intersection with Pear Street, where it turns straight west. Pear Street ends at the intersections of Easton Road and Garfield Avenue, and BL-29 moves northwest onto Garfield Avenue, along the northeast side of the same CB&Q line it crossed over when it overlapped US 169. One block away from intersection with 11th Street across the tracks from the LifeLine Foods factory, northbound BL-29 moves onto 10th Street, while southbound BL-29 runs along 9th Street. Both streets have partial interchanges with US 36. Southbound 9th Street has on-ramps to US 36, while northbound 10th Street has off-ramps from US 36. Through the more formerly industrious downtown St. Joseph, between Mitchell Avenue and Penn Street, both 9th and 10th streets run on the sides of the Pony Express National Museum. The one-way pair ends at Frederick Avenue between Francis and Jules Streets, and BL-29 moves onto Frederick Avenue as it runs northeast. The road turns east at Highly Street near North 25th Street at the Dr. Jacob Geiger House-Maud Wyeth Painter House. Along the way, it passes the Molina Golf Course and runs between the Northwest Missouri Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center and the Glore Psychiatric Museum. US 169 is encountered a second time and BL-29 overlaps Missouri State Route 6, then passes by the East Hills Shopping Mall before finally ends at Exit 47 on I-29, another diamond interchange. Muldraugh, Kentucky
In the 1964 James Bond movie "Goldfinger", a section of Main Street appears in the film. In the scene where Goldfinger's men are driving in Army trucks on their way to Fort Knox, they can be seen coming out of Harris Street turning onto Main Street. The red brick house on Harris Street, the white cinder block building on the corner of Harris and Main, and the Used Cars sign in the background are still there today. List of state highways in Kansas
The State Highways in Kansas are the state highways owned and maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) in the U.S. state of Kansas. They are numbered with a "K-" prefix, e.g. K-10 or K-66.
By Kansas law, no state highway may exist entirely within city limits. As a result, some highways have been given to cities as they annex the land around them, as is the case with the eastern branch of K-150 in the Kansas City area, which is now entirely within Olathe and Overland Park. This part of K-150 is now known as Santa Fe in Olathe and 135th Street in Overland Park. List of state highway spurs in Kansas
K-185 is a spur route that serves the city of McFarland in north central Wabaunsee County. The highway begins at a section line road within an S-curve at the north city limit, from which the road continues southeast as Main Street. K-185 heads north to its end at a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-70 and US-40, which run concurrently east–west, between Alma and Maple Hill. The Kansas State Highway Commission accepted K-185 into the state highway system from Wabaunsee County through a May 25, 1955, resolution. K-185's northern terminus was originally at K-10, which at the time extended west of Lawrence. The commission had authorized K-10 to be relocated to a new two-lane road between K-99 north of Alma and Maple Hill through an October 29, 1940, resolution. This new highway bypassed K-10's old course through McFarland when it was completed between 1941 and 1945. K-10 near McFarland was replaced by US-40 in 1956. The highway was then upgraded to I-70 in 1961.
K-189 is a spur route that serves the city of Miltonvale in southeastern Cloud County. The highway begins at the south end of East 3rd Street, which forms the east city limit. The road curves west into the city and becomes east–west Ash Avenue. K-189 heads north to its end at US-24 between Glasco and Clay Center. The Kansas State Highway Commission approved a relocation of US-24 from east of US-81 to Miltonvale through a November 24, 1954, resolution. The old routing of US-24 west of Miltonvale would be transferred to county control, and the portion of US-24 from Miltonvale north to the junction of the old and new courses would remain in the state highway system. The US-24 relocation was completed and K-189 was assigned to the connector from US-24 to Miltonvale by 1956. The Paseo (Kansas City, Missouri)
The Paseo (also known as Paseo Boulevard or Paseo) is a major north–south parkway in Kansas City, Missouri. It runs (85 blocks) in the center of the city: from Cliff Drive and Lexington Avenue on the bluffs above the Missouri River in the Pendleton Heights historic neighborhood, to 85th Street and Woodland Avenue. The parkway holds of boulevard parkland dotted with several Beaux-Arts-style decorative structures and architectural details maintained by the city's Parks and Recreation department.  Bonner Springs, Kansas
River transportation was important to early Bonner Springs, as its location directly on the Kansas River afforded easy access to trade. A portion of Interstate 70 was the first project in the United States completed under the provisions of the new Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 (though not the first constructed or to begin construction). Bonner Springs is located directly on or near several transportation corridors including roadways, rail, and river access. Golden, Colorado
In higher education, Golden features the oldest public university in the state, the Colorado School of Mines, which can be found a few blocks south of downtown Golden situated on a hill overlooking the city. Near Mines is the Mountain Language Institute, an English language school providing classes both in Golden and online.The main part of Golden is laid out upon a historic street grid system running on an approximately northwest–southeast axis, aligned with Clear Creek upon which the heart of the city was established. Most of these are paved streets with a total 66-foot right of way, including area for sidewalks which in older areas are often separated by a landscaped strip from the street featuring beautiful and historic trees. The only historic street in the grid not named "street" is the main thoroughfare, Washington Avenue, an 80-foot right of way featuring a downtown care streetscape with trees, planters, brick, flagstone and ornamental street lights. Golden's streets are generally numbered on the east–west streets, and named on the north–south streets, and are named after pioneers, American Indian tribes and trees. The streets of the southeasterly part of town are aligned with the Denver metropolitan street grid, which are aligned directly with the true directions of the compass, and they share the names of the Denver grid. Outlying subdivisions of Golden consist of their own, often curvilinear street systems, of various degrees of connection with the rest of the city. Golden has several main thoroughfare street connections to the east which date to the Gold Rush times, including West 44th Avenue, West 32nd Avenue and South Golden Road. Kansas Turnpike
The Kansas Turnpike begins at the Oklahoma state line north of Braman, Oklahoma. This is also the point at which I-35 crosses from Kay County to Sumner County. The turnpike proceeds due north from the state line, with no interchanges for its first in Kansas. The southernmost interchange on the turnpike is Exit 4 (South Haven), which serves US-166. US-166 heads east to Arkansas City and west to US-81 at South Haven. This interchange is a four-ramp folded diamond with ramps in the southeast and northwest quadrants. It has no toll plazas, as it lies south of the southern barrier toll. Northbound traffic must exit at US-166 to avoid paying a toll. Initially, the interchange provided only a southbound exit and northbound entrance, forcing drivers who did not wish to pay a toll to leave I-35 in Oklahoma. By 1976 the other two ramps had been added. Kansas Turnpike
After passing through El Dorado, the Kansas Turnpike crosses the northernmost arms of El Dorado Lake. This marks the turnpike's entry into the Flint Hills, a band of hills in eastern Kansas. The turnpike does not leave this region completely until it reaches Topeka. As the highway continues northeast past El Dorado Lake, it runs roughly parallel to the Walnut River to the west, which feeds the reservoir, and K-177 to the east. Northwest of the town of Cassoday, K-177 finally crosses the turnpike, with Exit 92 (Cassoday), a diamond interchange, providing a connector to the state highway. The interchange was not present when the turnpike opened in 1956, but was built soon after as an east-facing folded diamond with two separate toll plazas. The present configuration was built c. 1995. Near this interchange, the turnpike crosses the Walnut River. U.S. Route 66 in Kansas
A restored Kan-O-Tex Service Station on Main Street in Galena was re-opened in 2007 as a roadside diner and souvenir shop called 'Four Women on the Route', and then under newer ownership, was renamed to 'Cars on the Route'. It sits in front of the former location of the Banks Hotel which was demolished in 1950s.
Sitting to the north of the station is the historic 'bordello' which currently is an antique store. It was first designated to be a bed and breakfast before becoming an antique shop.
Located west across the street from the station is the Smith & Moeller Building (built in 1896) as a lumber and building supply house. In 1932, it became the Front Street Garage selling tires and Phillips 66 gas, later selling White Rose gasoline. K-177 (Kansas highway)
From its beginnings east of El Dorado, K-177 heads northward to provide access to El Dorado Lake. It then approaches the Kansas Turnpike and runs parallel to it before having a junction with it (exit 92). It then passes through Matfield Green and Bazaar before reaching Cottonwood Falls, Strong City, and US-50.
Flint Hills Scenic Byway is a portion of K-177 located in the Flint Hills region of the state, stretching from Interstate 35 at Cassoday in the south to US-56 at Council Grove in the north. Along the byway there are rolling hills and some of the only tallgrass prairie left in North America. It is a National Scenic Byway. Southwest Boulevard (Kansas City)
Southwest Boulevard (simply known as "The Boulevard" locally) is an arterial street in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS.
On the north end Southwest Boulevard starts as 19th Street at Baltimore Avenue in Kansas City, MO, and travels southwest crossing the state line into Kansas City, KS at 31st Street and continues until crossing 39th Avenue at which point it continues as Merriam Lane. Southwest Boulevard passes through the Crossroads Arts District and the West Side Neighborhood in Missouri and also the Rosedale Neighborhood in Kansas. Throughout the Kansas City area, the Boulevard is known for its wide selection of authentic Mexican restaurants and grocery stores. It is the home of the Boulevard Brewing Company which was founded in 1989 and is now one of the largest craft breweries in the USA, with a capacity of over 600,000 barrels per year. St. Charles Rock Road
In 1819, St. Charles Road was established as a post road and stagecoach road; by 1837 it became a turnpike. The road furnished access to the Santa Fe Trail and Oregon Trail for the many westbound wagon trains that were outfitted in St. Louis. After passage of the Missouri Plank Road Law in 1851, it became an oak plank road. In 1865, St. Charles Road was rebuilt with macadam and renamed St. Charles Rock Road. In 1921, it became the first concrete state highway in St. Louis County. In 1953, St. Charles Rock Road was completed as a divided two-lane highway along much of its length. Kansas Turnpike
The Kansas Turnpike was built from 1954 to 1956, predating the Interstate Highway System. While not part of the system's early plans, the turnpike was eventually incorporated into the Interstate system in late 1956, and is designated today as four different Interstate Highway routes: I-35, I-335, I-470, and I-70. The turnpike also carries a piece of U.S. Routes 24 and 40 in Kansas City. Dover, Kansas
The Southwest Trail was used as a connection from the Oregon Trail on its route through Topeka to the Santa Fe Trail in Council Grove. Today highway 4, Kansas’ first paved highway, roughly follows the path of the trail. 
Along Mission Creek there were only two places where a wagon could ford the creek, one of which was at Dover. An Inn was built at this location, which conveniently was also the natural half-way point of the trails two-day journey by horseback. The Inn was an ideal stopping point to rest or trade out horses, get a bite to eat, and spend the night.
Mark and John Sage, are believed to have crafted a stone building for their brother Alfred. Mark, especially, became a well-known stonemason in the area and built many of the stone farm houses, barns and bridges in Shawnee and Wabaunsee Counties in Kansas. The two brothers are also credited for their mason work on the original Kansas Capitol (east wing) in Topeka from 1866-1869. 
The Sage Inn was built in two stages: The northern half of the current structure dates from 1865 and the southern half was built in 1878, after the Southwestern Stage Company was purchased by Root Brothers of Wichita Transfer Company. 
Around 1900, the railroad was built to Harveyville instead Dover. This was the clear end of the stagecoach era and the inn and station declined rapidly. Red Rocks Park
Red Rocks Park is a mountain park in Jefferson County, Colorado, owned and maintained by the city of Denver as part of the Denver Mountain Parks system. The park is known for its very large red sandstone outcrops. Many of these rock formations within the park have names, from the mushroom-shaped Seat of Pluto to the inclined Cave of the Seven Ladders. The most visited rocks, around the amphitheater, are Creation Rock to the north, Ship Rock to the south, and Stage Rock to the east. List of state highway spurs in Kansas
K-131 is a spur route that serves the city of Lebo in northwestern Coffey County. The highway begins at the north city limit between Sixth and Seventh streets, from which the road continues south as Ogden Street. K-131 heads north to a diamond interchange with I-35 and US-50, which run concurrently east–west, between Emporia and Ottawa. The Kansas State Highway Commission accepted K-131 into the state highway system from Coffey County through an August 24, 1949, resolution. The section of highway began at US-50S "south" of the city and went north to Sac and Fox Street and Ogden Street at the "south" city limit of Lebo. This highway is now named Old Highway 131. On November 14, 1968, the Kansas State Highway Commission approved a lengthy resolution adding and removing several designations in Lyon, Coffey, Osage, and Franklin counties as part of plans to construct I-35 between Emporia and Ottawa. The resolution removed US-50 from its old course and placed it on I-35, and it also changed K-131's route from its southern approach to Lebo to its current northern approach. The change in routing in K-131 and the other highways went into effect in 1973 when I-35 was completed from east of Emporia to Ottawa. Johnson County, Kansas
Kill Creek begins in the southwest portion of the county and flows northward into the Kansas River at DeSoto. Mill Creek begins in the central portion of the county in Olathe, flowing northward it empties into the Kansas River at Shawnee. Turkey Creek and Brush Creek each begin in northeast Johnson County. Turkey Creek flows northeastward into Wyandotte County and joins the Kansas River just before its confluence with the Missouri River at Kaw Point. Brush Creek flows east-northeastward through Prairie Village and Mission Hills, entering Kansas City, Missouri within the median of Ward Parkway and passing the Country Club Plaza before emptying into the Blue River east of the Country Club Plaza and north of Swope Park. Indian Creek begins in the southern portion of Olathe and Tomahawk Creek begins in south Overland Park. Each flows northeastward meeting in Leawood, where the stream retains the name of Indian Creek, just before crossing the state line and entering the Blue River in Kansas City, Missouri. The Blue River begins in rural southern Johnson County and flows north-northeastward through the southeastern portion of the county and crossing the state line just east of the intersection of 151st Street and Kenneth Road in southern Overland Park. The Blue River flows through southern and eastern Kansas City before joining the Missouri River. Bull Creek and Little Bull Creek begin in rural southwestern Johnson County and flow southward where they enter Hillsdale Lake before continuing into Miami County, eventually joining the Marais des Cygnes at Paola. Kansas Turnpike
In the early 1950s, toll roads were gaining in popularity as a mechanism for funding new superhighways. This trend started with the Pennsylvania Turnpike in 1940, which was mimicked by other toll roads in New York, New Jersey, several New England states, Ohio, and Colorado. In October 1951, the Highway Council of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce researched the possibility of integrating the state into a potential cross-country turnpike system. Eastern Kansas was also included in an interstate turnpike system stretching from Galveston, Texas to Saint Louis, Missouri, via Kansas City, that was proposed by Oklahoma governor Johnston Murray. Many firms from construction industries, as well as those concerned about the state's economic development, worked to have legislation passed to allow the turnpike to be constructed. Governor Ed Arn and Gale Moss, the State Highway Director, were two major proponents of the turnpike concept. Yellow brick road
Inspired the title, artwork, and title song of Elton John's 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Inspired the title of the song by American musician, artist and poet Don Van Vliet, also known as Captain Beefheart, on his 1967 album Safe as Milk. Inspired the title of the 2010 horror film YellowBrickRoad. A song by Arctic Monkeys is called "Old Yellow Bricks." Commenting on the song "The Sweet Escape," singer Gwen Stefani stated that it would put her "on the yellow brick road to the No Doubt record I might do."[5] Oprah Winfrey has referred to her success as a "yellow brick road of blessings" during both the announcement of the decision to end her talk show and the farewell episode.[6][7] Angus and Julia Stone also referred to the Yellow Brick Road in a song of the same name. The American band Breaking Benjamin also referred to the Yellow Brick Road in their song "Home". In "Gypsy", a song from Lady Gaga's Artpop, she sings "So I just packed my baggage and / Said goodbye to family and friends / And took a road to nowhere on my own / Like Dorothy on the yellow brick / Hope my ruby shoes get us there quick."[8] The band Muse use a sample of "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" in the outro of their 2015 song Reapers. Inspired the title of the famous ice cream shop Yellow Brick Road in Brick, NJ.[9] Eminem used "Yellow Brick Road" as title to the track number 4 from his album Encore, which portrays his childhood. Rapper Mac Miller mentions the road in his song Brand Name from the album GO:OD AM The road also appears in Lego Dimensions, where the main characters: Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle arrive at and they encounter Dorothy and her group along with the Wicked Witch of the West. Later, fragments of the road were summon to help the trio reach Foundation Prime's palace. In the song: "The Wicked Witch" by Blind Guardian, the Yellow Brick Road is mentioned in the refrain: "Farewell to you Yellow Brick Road". There are several references to The wizard of Oz and the yellow brick road in the Stargate franchise, Particularly in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis The expression 'Where is the yellow brick road when you need it' or 'I see the yellow Brick road' has transiently passed into and out of the vernacular, the 'yellow brick road' being analogous to 'light at the end of the tunnel', the phrase can be used optimistically, sarcastically, or cynically. Interstate 670 (Kansas–Missouri)
Interstate 670 (I-670) is a 2.81 mile (4.52 km) connector highway between I-70 in Kansas City, Kansas and I-70 in Kansas City, Missouri. The highway provides a more direct route through downtown Kansas City than the older mainline I-70, and avoids the sharp turn (and reduced speed limit) of the latter at the west end of the Intercity Viaduct. I-670 is also designated "Alternate Interstate 70", one of the few interstates to be designated as an alternate.
Interstate 670 also makes up the south side of Kansas City's downtown freeway loop, where it passes under the southern half of Bartle Hall Convention Center. Yellow brick road
..."There were several roads near by, but it did not take Dorothy long to find the one paved with yellow bricks. Within a short time she was walking briskly toward the Emerald City; her Silver Shoes tinkling merrily on the hard, yellow road-bed ". Beach Boulevard (Jacksonville)
What is now called Beach Boulevard is actually an extension that was added to the original, post-Civil War road called Hogan Road, which stretched from the South bank of the St Johns River downtown, and led Southeast across the bridge over Little Pottsburg Creek and moved onward toward St Augustine. Hogan Road was named after the Hogan Family that were the first white settlers in Duval County. Hogan Road had two sections, the Northbank section moving north from the north bank of the St Johns River downtown, and the Southbank section moving south from the south bank of the St Johns River downtown. In the late 1930s, a new road called Beach Boulevard was built from the beaches toward Downtown Jacksonville until it intersected with the Southbank section of Hogan Road just west of what is now called Parental Home Road. The Southbank section of Hogan Road between Parental Home Road and the South bank of the St Johns River downtown was renamed Beach Boulevard and added to the new section, thus allowing the new Beach Boulevard to exist under one name from the South bank of the St Johns River, all the way out to the Atlantic Ocean. Other changes were made in the 1950s, when Interstate I-95 bisected the new Beach Blvd just south of the riverbank. All that is left of the original Hogan Road is the Northbank section downtown, and a small piece of the original Southbank section that stretches from just West of Parental Home Road South across the Little Pottsburg Creek, and ends at the intersection of Southside Boulevard.
Prior to the 1945 renumbering, it was State Road 376, added to the state road system by the Florida Legislature in 1937. The road was built on the right-of-way of the Florida East Coast Railway Mayport Branch (Jacksonville and Atlantic Railroad) to relieve traffic on the parallel Atlantic Boulevard (pre-1945 State Road 140, now State Road 10). Construction began before World War II but was suspended between fall 1941 and 1945. After the renumbering, it was reassigned to SR 212, and dedicated December 17, 1949, along with the B.B. McCormick Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. Kansas Turnpike
While the initial turnpike was still being built, the KTA authorized four feasibility studies in October 1954. Three of them—a spur to Leavenworth and Saint Joseph, Missouri, a spur from Wichita to Hutchinson, Great Bend and Hays, and a new Intercity Viaduct to Kansas City, Missouri—did not go anywhere. But the fourth proposal, a toll bridge on 18th Street in Kansas City, was pushed through, and the KTA agreed to build the turnpike in early 1956. The 18th Street Expressway, running south from the turnpike's east end over the Kansas River, opened in 1959, improving access to northeast Johnson County. Kansas Speedway
In July 2011, the speedway announced they will reconfigure the speedway following the 2012 STP 400. Some of the changes will be adding a road course in the infield, repaving the oval, and adding variable banking. On August 28–29 the track's reconfiguration of the oval took the checkered flag as the NASCAR Cup Series held a Goodyear Tire test for the upcoming October 21 Hollywood Casino 400. As a result of the project, the banking in the turns was increased from a uniform 15 degrees to a progressively 17–20 degrees, the grass on the inside of the backstretch was paved over for safety reasons, and due to the drought in Kansas, new grass on the front stretch was rolled using sod trucks. In 2013, the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series announced they would come to the track for the 2013 season. Yellow brick road
The Vision Oz Fund was established in November 2009 to raise funds that will be used to help increase the awareness, enhancement, and further development of Oz-related attractions and assets in Wamego, Kansas. The first fundraiser is underway and includes selling personalized engraved yellow bricks, which will become part of the permanent walkway (aka "The Yellow Brick Road") in downtown Wamego.[4] Dixie Highway
The Dixie Highway-Hastings, Espanola and Bunnell Road (also known as County Road 13 or the Old Brick Road) is a historic section of Old Dixie Highway in Florida. It is located roughly between Espanola (in Flagler County) and CR 204 southeast of Hastings near Flagler Estates (in St. Johns County). This is one of the few extant portions of the original brick Dixie Highway left in Florida. On April 20, 2005, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Maitland, Florida is also home to a brick section of the Dixie Highway stretching around Lake Lily. Interstate 70 in Kansas
In the U.S. state of Kansas, Interstate 70 contains the first segment to start being paved and to be completed in the Interstate Highway System. It extends from the Colorado border near the town of Kanorado to the Missouri border in Kansas City. The route covers and passes through several of the state's principal cities in the process including Kansas City, Topeka, and Salina. The route also passes through the cities of Lawrence, Junction City, and Abilene. Yellow brick road
The road is first introduced in the third chapter of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The road begins in the heart of the eastern quadrant called Munchkin Country in the Land of Oz. It functions as a guideline that leads all who follow it, to the road's ultimate destination—the imperial capital of Oz called Emerald City that is located in the exact center of the entire continent. In the book, the novel's main protagonist, Dorothy, is forced to search for the road before she can begin her quest to seek the Wizard. This is because the cyclone from Kansas did not release her farmhouse closely near it as it did in the various film adaptations. After the council with the native Munchkins and their dear friend the Good Witch of the North, Dorothy begins looking for it and sees many pathways and roads nearby, (all of which lead in various directions). Thankfully it doesn't take her too long to spot the one paved with bright yellow bricks. Linwood Boulevard (Kansas City, Missouri)
Linwood Boulevard, Linwood, or 33rd Street is a major west/east main street that runs in Kansas City, Missouri from Broadway Boulevard to Van Brunt Boulevard.
Linwood is one of the few named east-west streets in the Kansas City grid south of the Missouri River. It is one of the original boulevards designated by George Kessler's City Beautiful design in the late 19th century for Kansas City. It derives its name from the Linden trees. Yellow brick road
In the classic 1939 film, a red brick road can be seen starting at the same point as the yellow brick road and is entwined with it, despite seemingly going in a different direction. This version of the road does not exist in Baum's books. Also, at the cornfield where Dorothy meets and befriends the Scarecrow, there is a fork in the yellow brick road leading in different directions. Luckily they choose the correct one of the three branches that leads to Emerald City. Kansas Turnpike
With no counterpart to the south, the Kansas Turnpike ended at the state line, at an at-grade intersection with E0010 Road. Just across the state line was an oat field, into which many inattentive motorists crashed. This abrupt end became nationally famous after Wyoming governor Milward L. Simpson and his wife crashed in mid-1957. The oat farmer plowed the field to provide a safer landing, and the KTA was persuaded to install a huge wooden barrier at the end of the highway. However, within a day, three more drivers had crashed and destroyed the barrier, so the KTA closed the turnpike south of the South Haven interchange. KTA provided the state of Oklahoma with financial aid to construct its portion of a temporary road leading to the interchange. The lack of continuity in the highway was one of the primary reasons that the road did not generate much revenue in the years following the opening; another reason was a lack of education on the part of motorists as to the concept of a toll road. Red Squirrel Road
Red Squirrel Road was originally created in 1965 by the Johns-Manville company to log jack pine on the sand flats just north of Ferguson Bay at the northern end of Lake Temagami. As the flats were cleared the logged jack pine was towed down Red Squirrel Road towards Highway 11. During 1970, Red Squirrel Road became longer to log the jack pine through the Sharp Rock Portage near Diamond Lake. Red Squirrel Road became abandoned to the public until around 1972 and subsequently, the road has been used by the public. In 1985, plans were broadcast to expand Red Squirrel Road and this became a rallying point for environmental preservation. In 1988, the Ontario Minister of Natural Resources, Vince Kerrio approved the expansion of the Red Squirrel logging road, directly through Anishnabe territory. This prompted a series of roadblocks by the Teme-Augama Anishnabai and by environmentalists from 1988 to 1989. Greenbelt Historic District
Greenbelt is the best-preserved of the three built greenbelt towns, retaining much of its green space reserve despite the encroachment of development and highway construction. The Greenbelt model provided inspiration to other projects in the United States. Parade Park in Kansas City, Missouri, River Park in southwest Washington, D.C., and Parktown in Cincinnati, Ohio, were built by the Reynolds Aluminum Company Service Corporation as showcases for aluminum construction, and were based on the Greenbelt urban model. The town of Kitimat, British Columbia, was built in 1953 by the Aluminum Company of Canada along similar lines. Both Vallingby in Sweden and Chandigarh in East Punjab, India, were influenced by Greenbelt, as was the British New town Program after 1946. Less influence was felt by the planners of Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia, in the 1960s. Relate to WWII Manhattan Project planned communities with very similar design esthetic and architecture: Los Alamos; NM, Hanford; WA, Oak Ridge; TN, inter alia. Interstate 70
In Topeka, I-70 intersects I-470, twice. At the eastern intersection, the Kansas Turnpike merges, with I-70 becoming a toll road. This is one of only two sections of I-70 that are tolled. (The other is part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.) I-70 carries this designation from Topeka to Kansas City, the eastern terminus of the turnpike. About halfway between Topeka and Kansas City, Kansas, I-70 passes through Lawrence (home to the University of Kansas). The tolled portion of the turnpike ends near Bonner Springs, just west of Kansas City. There is also a third child route in Topeka, I-335, which runs from I-470 south to meet up with I-35 in the Flint Hills town of Emporia. Just past the Bonner Springs Toll Plaza I-70 crosses I-435 for the first time, which allows travelers to bypass the downtown traffic via I-435, which encircles the Kansas City metropolitan area. Further down the highway in Kansas City, Kansas, approximately before the 18th Street Expressway, I-70 is intersected again by another child route. This route, I-635, runs from I-35 at its southern terminus up to I-29, just about across the Missouri River, at its northern terminus. From I-635 to just past the 7th Street (US 169) exit, I-70 runs adjacent Union Pacific's Armourdale Yard. Here I-670 (also designated "Alternate 70" on some signs) diverges, providing a more direct route that rejoins I-70 proper a few miles east in Missouri. The highway passes over the former stockyards and rail yard when it crosses the Kansas River on the Lewis & Clark Viaduct into downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Ultra-distance cycling
In the early days of road bike racing, most roads were not paved, so most races were held primarily on unpaved/dirt/gravel roads. Due to road infrastructure improving with time, road bike racing is now done almost entirely on paved roads. However, in the 21st century, riding and racing road bikes on gravel roads has gained popularity. One of the longest and most famous of the modern gravel bike races is the Dirty Kanza in Kansas, USA, which is long with a 350-miler announced for 2019 and options of 25, 50 and 100 mile courses as well.  Chittenango, New York
In 1982, the village installed a brick sidewalk on either side of the downtown portion of Genesee St. which was painted yellow as an homage to the yellow brick road from the novels and film. The sidewalk required regular upkeep as the color would fade over time and the bricks would chip and crack due to the freeze-thaw cycles in the colder months and regular use throughout the year. As part of a downtown Chittenango revitalization project in 2007, the sidewalks were replaced with concrete which was then stamped and colored to replicate the yellow brick road. The old bricks have been made available to purchase at the All Things Oz museum and during the festival to raise money for the town's festival. In 2017, the village also added a yellow brick road sidewalk to Dr. West memorial park where the annual Oz-stravaganza festival is held. Kansas
To the north, Kansas City, with the second largest land area in the state, contains a number of diverse ethnic neighborhoods. Its attractions include the Kansas Speedway, Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City T-Bones, Schlitterbahn, and The Legends at Village West retail and entertainment center. Nearby, Kansas's first settlement Bonner Springs [47] is home to several national and regional attractions including the Providence Medical Center Amphitheather, the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame, and the annual Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Further up the Missouri River, the city of Lansing is the home of the state's first maximum-security prison. Historic Leavenworth, founded in 1854, was the first incorporated city in Kansas. North of the city, Fort Leavenworth is the oldest active Army post west of the Mississippi River. The city of Atchison was an early commercial center in the state and is well known as the birthplace of Amelia Earhart. K-3 (Kansas highway)
K-3 is a state highway in southeastern Kansas that runs through Crawford, Bourbon and Linn counties from K-47 near Girard to K-31 near Blue Mound. It was designated around 1932, and the entire route was paved by 1958. The road is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), and is a two-lane road for its entire length. The route's concurrency with U.S. Route 54 (US-54) is a part of the National Highway System. List of Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways (400–499)
Kentucky Route 406 is a rural secondary highway in western Leslie County. The highway begins at KY 66 at the Clay County line where Upper Jacks Creek empties into the Red Bird River. KY 406 heads east along Upper Jacks Creek through Roark. East of Roark, the highway turns north out of the Upper Jacks Creek valley and then descends into the valley of Bowen Creek. KY 406 leaves that creek valley to ascend to Essie and then descends into the valley of Stinnett Creek. The highway follows Stinnett Creek east to the route's eastern terminus at US 421 next to Stinnett Creek's confluence with the Middle Fork Kentucky River at Stinnett.
Kentucky Route 407 is a rural secondary highway in northern Christian County. The highway is a loop from US 41 (Madisonville Road) named Mannington Loop that runs from Empire north to Mannington. At Mannington, KY 407 meets the southern end of KY 1687 (Daniel Boone Road) and intersects a CSX rail line at grade just west of its terminus at US 41 just south of the Hopkins County line.
Kentucky Route 408 is a highway in the Jackson Purchase that is split into two parts. The western segment is a rural secondary highway that extends from US 62 near Magee Springs in Carlisle County east to Hopewell Road near Viola in Graves County. The eastern segment, which contains supplemental road and rural secondary sections, extends from KY 534 near Kaler in Graves County east to US 68 near Fairdealing via the Marshall County seat of Benton. K-232 (Kansas highway)
K-232 is a north–south state highway in central Kansas connecting the towns of Wilson and Lucas. The highway was first established in 1962 and expanded over the following two years. K-232 is designated by the Kansas Department of Transportation as the Post Rock Scenic Byway. The scenic byway derives its name from the abundant Fencepost limestone, also known as the Post Rock, which early settlers used as fence posts and in other construction in place of wood. The route was designated as a scenic byway both for the natural beauty of the area and unique towns located each end of the highway. Annual average daily traffic on the highway ranges from 238 to 340, and the entire route is paved with partial design bituminous pavement. Intercity Viaduct
The Intercity Viaduct (officially the Lewis and Clark Viaduct since 1969) is an automobile and pedestrian crossing of the Kansas River in the United States. Designed by Waddell and Hedrick, this four lane, two level deck truss bridge was built in 1907. It rises above the West Bottoms, and several sets of railroad tracks. It was the first roadway bridge to connect Kansas City, Missouri, with Kansas City, Kansas, non-stop all the way across. It is about long and carries eastbound traffic for Interstate 70 (I-70)/U.S. Route 24 (US 24)/US 40/US 169, while its sister bridge, the Lewis and Clark Viaduct, built in 1962, carries westbound traffic. Fencepost limestone
Currently, the Permian top-ledge Cottonwood Limestone is commercially split and shaped to superficially resemble the Kansas Stone Posts. Examples are seen in the Kansas Veterans' Cemetery at Wakeeny. These "faux" Post Rocks (such as seen on the left in the cited image) can be detected by their all-white color, presence of fusilinids, larger drill size, absence of iron staining, and absence of Cretaceous mollusks. 
Kansas' stone fenceposts were manufactured from bluffs that had been cut by regional rivers through the Blue Hills. On these hills, the unweathered limestone bed can be exposed by removing shallow overburden. Quarrying leaves a long trench from in width in which water can collect after a rain. Cornell William Brooks
In October 2014, Brooks began a Justice Tour, starting in his birthplace, El Paso, TX. The bus tour had a goal to encourage people to vote and discuss social justice issues in their community. He also led a 7-day "Journey for Justice" through Missouri from the Canfield Green Apartments, where unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer, to Jefferson City in 2014. The march met ice storms, bitter cold, and racist taunts. Brooks was heckled down by St. Louis activists about the organization lack of youth participation at a major 'Ferguson October' rally. One woman is quoted as saying, "I had my back turned while that NAACP guy was speaking," explaining the divide between historic black civil rights organizations and the new #BlackLivesMatter Movement taking shape. In Rosebud, MO, a "display of fried chicken, a melon and a 40-ounce beer bottle had been placed in the street." The 134-mile march culminated with a protest at the state Capitol Building. The agitation and advocacy in Missouri contributed to the Ferguson Police Department being held accountable by the Department of Justice using the Racial Profiling Law that the NAACP passed. Kan-O-Tex Service Station
Little's Service Station installed its fuel pumps on the former site of the Banks Hotel (demolished 1933) at 119 North Main Street in Galena; an automobile repair shop was added later. Before Interstate 44 opened in the area in 1961, bypassing Kansas entirely, U.S. Route 66 in Kansas was a vibrant part of the "Mother Road" which led from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California and former local mining towns like Galena and Baxter Springs would be filled with roadside diners, motels, tourist camps, service stations and trucking companies to serve travellers on the U.S. Highway as it passed through Kansas on its way between Joplin, Missouri and Miami, Oklahoma. Yellow brick road
Political interpretations of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Terra Cotta, Kansas
Initially a shipping station for sand and clay in 1867, Terra Cotta was named for the red clay in the surrounding hills, "colored earth." The town of 15-20 people added a grocery store, elevator, lumber yard, and a hotel. A cheese factory and blacksmith shop were built, but the majority of the population (around 75 at the highest) were farmers and ranchers. The family of Charles Andrew Gill and Sylvania Headley Gill moved to Terra Cotta in the fall of 1880. The obituary of their son Delbert Franklin Gill states that he received his education at the Terra Cotta school. At a convenient location along the Kansas Pacific Railway in 1885, Terra Cotta housed several stockyards. And, between 1886 and 1912, more cattle were shipped from Terra Cotta and neighboring Brookville than from any other place between Kansas City and Denver. Red Crown Tourist Court
Built in 1931 by Parkville, Missouri banker and developer Emmett Breen at the junction of US 71 and US 71 Bypass (now Missouri Route 291), the red brick and tile Tavern included a popular restaurant and ballroom. Back behind the Tavern was the Tourist Court— two small cabins connected by two garages. The site is just northeast of the main Kansas City International Airport exit off I-29. Today it is within the city limits of Kansas City, and an Interstate entrance ramp runs almost squarely through the property. List of Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways (3500–6999)
Kentucky Route 3545 is a supplemental road in central Butler County. The highway extends from a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet maintenance barn north to KY 70 (Veterans Way) next to KY 70's diamond interchange with William H. Natcher Parkway in the city of Morgantown. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet assigned KY 3545 as a supplemental road in a July 7, 2011, official order.
Kentucky Route 3545 is a supplemental road in northern Lincoln County. The highway extends from the Lincoln County Department of Highways maintenance facility north along Vincent Drive to US 150 in the city of Stanford. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet assigned KY 3545 as a supplemental road in a June 14, 2016, official order.
Kentucky Route 3545 is a rural secondary highway in northern Rockcastle County. The highway follows Copper Creek Hill Road from a four-way intersection with KY 1505 (Brindle Ridge Road) and KY 3275 (Hurricane School Road) west of Conway north to KY 3109 (Copper Creek Road). The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet added the highway to the rural secondary system through an October 21, 2016, official order.
Kentucky Route 3548 is a rural secondary highway in western Owen County. The highway follows Fairview Road from KY 355 north of Gratz east to KY 22 at Pleasant Home. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet added KY 3548 to the rural secondary system through a March 19, 2012, official order.
Kentucky Route 3549 is a rural secondary highway in central Owen County. The highway follows Old Monterey Road from KY 845 north of Monterey north to KY 22 southeast of Owenton. Along its course, KY 3549 crosses Severn Creek, a tributary of the Kentucky River, and two of the creek's tributaries, Greenup Creek and Slippery Rock Creek. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet added the highway to the rural secondary system through a March 19, 2012, official order.
Kentucky Route 3611 is a supplemental road in southern Edmonson County. The highway runs from KY 743 north to KY 101 (Chalybeate Road) in the village of Chalybeate. After KY 101 was relocated through Chalybeate in 2011, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet established KY 3611 along KY 101's old course through an August 8, 2011, official order.
Kentucky Route 6319 is a supplemental road in the city of Louisville in Jefferson County. The highway runs from the beginning of state maintenance north along Signature Drive to KY 1747 (Fern Valley Road) east of KY 1747's interchange with I-65 (Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway) southeast of Louisville International Airport. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet established KY 6319 through a January 5, 1991, official order. Kansas City Scout
Kansas City Scout is one of the United States' largest electronic traffic management systems. It was created in 2000 as part of a bi-state initiative between the Missouri Department of Transportation and the Kansas Department of Transportation to provide this system for the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, which is in both Missouri and Kansas (the anchor city of Kansas City is in Missouri). The project's cost was $43 million. Of that amount, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contributed 80-90 percent of the project cost. KDOT and MoDOT shared the remaining cost. The system employs a system of electronic boards placed on major highways throughout the metropolitan area that display traffic information whenever information needs to be displayed (due to an accident, lane closure, highway closure etc.), and the system also has cameras on those billboards to automatically detect traffic problems. While the system has extensive coverage of highways in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area it still has much more to cover. Since it would be too expensive to cover all the major highways in the Kansas City metro (which has more miles of highway per person than any other metropolitan area in the United States), studies were conducted to determine which highways or segments of highways have priority due to higher accident rates. Since the project's beginning, it has expanded greatly, and will continue to expand. Future plans are to extend coverage to I-635 and cover I-435 even more (especially in the northern areas of the metro) as well as other major city highways.  Grand Boulevard (Kansas City, Missouri)
Grand Boulevard or Grand Avenue is a north/south street in Kansas City, Missouri. Grand runs along the 200 east block in the Kansas City street grid system (2 blocks east of Main Street). In the Downtown and Crown Center areas of Kansas City it is an arterial route, continuing on the north as the Grand Ave. Viaduct passing through Richard L. Berkley Riverfront Park and on the south intersecting with Main Street at about the 2800 South Block. Ward Parkway
Ward Parkway is a boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, near the Kansas-Missouri state line. Ward Parkway begins at Brookside Boulevard on the eastern edge of the Country Club Plaza and continues westward along Brush Creek as U.S. Route 56 until it turns southward across the creek just before the Kansas-Missouri state line. It then continues south for four miles, terminating at Wornall Road near West 95th Street.
Ward Parkway has a wide, landscaped median, which is decorated with fountains and statuary. Many of Kansas City's finest large houses are along Ward Parkway in the Country Club District. Kinloch, Missouri
One all-but-forgotten element in Kinloch's success was the electric streetcar line which ran through it to Florissant. Later the line was cut back to just north of Airport Road in Berkeley. At Kinloch, near the beginning of the 1900s, a branch had been constructed to downtown Ferguson, connecting at what was known as various times as Ramona Junction and Ferguson Junction. This clean, economic and efficient transportation gave Kinloch residents the ability to travel with ease to jobs both in the City of St. Louis and the northwestern suburbs. At the Wellston Loop, the line connected with numerous other streetcar and bus lines, giving Kinloch residents a reliable way to get to downtown St. Louis, the suburbs of University City, Clayton, Brentwood, Kirkwood, Webster Groves all the communities along St. Charles Rock Road west to St. Charles, Missouri. Many white people became acquainted with Kinloch as they passed through the area on their streetcar journeys. The substation at the junction of the Berkeley and Ferguson branches still sits on the east side of Hanley Road opposite Suburban Avenue, which had been the streetcar right-of-way into Ferguson. In a heavy segregated culture, black and white rode the streetcars as equals. Anyone could sit wherever anyone wanted and it was not unusual for blacks and whites who otherwise would never have known each other to strike up conversations. In summer streetcar riders always commented on the tantalizing smoky breeze of barbecuing at the Kinloch stop, where the trolleys to Ferguson paused on a graceful, wide curve. U.S. Route 36
Except for wider sections in towns and passing lanes on hills, US-36 through Kansas is mostly a two-lane surface road. However some of the principal intersections all along the road are grade-separated diamond interchanges. From the Little Blue River just west of the K-148 junction to the US-77 North junction just west of the Big Blue River at Marysville, US-36 is a four-lane divided surface highway. From Hiawatha to west of Wathena, the road is a two-lane freeway. After passing through Wathena as a surface street (Riverside High School in Wathena fronts the westbound lanes), it becomes a four-lane freeway to the Missouri state line. I-670 Viaduct
The I-670 Viaduct is an automobile crossing of the Kansas River, and West Bottoms in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri.
It was built in 1990, and carries six lanes (three east, three west) of Interstate 670 through Kansas City. The bridge is also called the Jay B. Dillingham bridge. (Dillingham was the president of the Kansas City Stockyards)
It is just north of the Missouri Pacific Bridge, and south of the Central Avenue Bridge (Kansas City) over the Kansas River. K-99 (Kansas highway)
K-99 passes through four physiographic regions. The highway passes through the western edge of the Chautauqua Hills immediately north of the Oklahoma state line. K-99 continues through the Osage Cuestas. The highway passes through the Flint Hills from north of Emporia to the Kansas River at Wamego. A subset of the route's course through the Flint Hills, from Eskridge to near Wamego, is part of the Native Stone Scenic Byway, which recognizes the region's limestone, which was used in much of the region's masonry. From there, K-99 passes through the Glaciated Region to the Nebraska state line. K-99 has four memorial highway designations. From the Oklahoma state line to Severy, the highway is part of the Prairie Parkway. The route is part of Maisie Devore Highway along its concurrency with K-4 from Eskridge to near Alma. K-99 follows The Road to Oz from Interstate 70 (I-70) near Alma to the south city limit of Frankfort. Finally, the route is named the Frankfort Boys World War II Memorial Highway from the south city limit of Frankfort to U.S. Route 36 (US-36) near Beattie. The Frankfort Boys designation, approved by the Kansas Legislature in 2012, honors the World War II casualties of the city of Frankfort; more residents per capita died in the war from Frankfort than from any other community in the United States. Kansas City (Sneaky Sound System song)
The music video for the song features a yellow brick road and dancing puppets including one that looks like the character of Dorothy from the "Wizard of Oz". In the Wizard of Oz Dorothy Gale was from the US state of Kansas. The Kansas City most people recognize (from skyline photos and sports teams) is the city in the US state of Missouri. Still, references to Kansas City being in Kansas can be technically correct because there is a separate municipality of Kansas City, Kansas across the Kansas-Missouri border from Kansas City, Missouri. List of state highway spurs in Kansas
K-85 is a spur route that serves the city of Morland in west central Graham County. The highway begins at the north city limit north of Solomon Street; the road continues as 5th Street. K-85 crosses the South Fork Solomon River on its way to its northern terminus at US-24 between Hoxie and Hill City. The main east–west highway of Graham County followed the south side of the South Fork Solomon River at Morland on its course between Hoxie and the village of Penokee in 1918. However, by 1932, that highway followed US-24's present course, and a spur route may have been in place south to Morland. K-85 was assigned to the Morland spur by January 1938 at the latest.
K-89 is a spur route that serves the city of Halstead in central Harvey County. The highway begins at a flood gate at the south end of the highway's bridge across the Little Arkansas River at the north city limit. The road continues south as Main Street, which contains a variety of historic sites, including its post office, museum and former railroad station, a pair of historic homes, and the Bernhard Warkentin Homestead, which is a National Historic Landmark. K-89 heads north by Riverside Park—the site of the Old Settlers Picnic and of filming for the 1955 movie "Picnic"—along Hertzler Memorial Highway, which honors "Horse and Buggy Doctor" Arthur E. Hertzler. The highway passes through an S-curve to veer east onto a section line road, which the highway follows to its end at US-50 between Burrton and Newton. The Kansas State Highway Commission approved a purchase order for right of way to construct K-89 on September 13, 1932. The highway was built in the second half of 1934 as an improved dirt road that was partially funded by national recovery grants. However, before the state had paved the highway, the commission decided to eliminate several sharp curves in the highway's planned course and return the unused land to the former property owners in a November 15, 1935, resolution. K-89 was paved on its present course by 1936.
K-114 is a spur route that serves the city of Ogden in southwestern Riley County. The highway begins at the east city limit of Ogden; the road continues southwest as Riley Street. The highway curves southeast as a four-lane divided highway, crosses a Union Pacific rail line, and reaches its eastern terminus at a partial cloverleaf interchange with K-18, a four-lane freeway that heads northeast toward Manhattan and southwest toward I-70 and Junction City. K-114 was proposed as part of a May 9, 1973, Kansas State Highway Commission resolution to remove K-18 from its course through Fort Riley in favor of a route around the military base between Ogden and Junction City to separate military traffic and regular highway traffic. K-18 would be placed on its present corridor from just east of Ogden south to I-70, and the piece of K-18 between the city of Ogden and the new portion of K-18 would become K-114. The junction of K-18 and K-114 would be a partial interchange featuring a flyover ramp for westbound K-18 and no access from K-114 to westbound K-18 or from eastbound K-18 to K-114. K-114 was established when construction on the K-18 link between Ogden and I-70 was completed between 1975 and 1977. Between 2010 and 2013, K-18 and K-114 were relocated and their present interchange was constructed.
K-114 was a spur route that served the city of Everest in southeastern Brown County. The highway began at US-73 and K-20, which ran concurrently east–west, between Horton to the west and Huron and Denton to the east. K-114 headed north to the south city limit of Everest, from which the road continued north as Fifth Street. The Kansas State Highway Commission accepted K-114 into the state highway system through a July 12, 1950, resolution. The commission authorized relocations of US-73 and K-20 in and around Everest through an August 12, 1964, resolution. The eastern end of K-20's concurrency with US-73 had been southeast of Everest. The state-numbered highway would be relocated to pass through Everest, assume the course of K-114, and reach its new US-73 junction at what was K-114's southern terminus. K-114 was replaced by K-20 when the relocations were completed in 1966. List of state highway spurs in Kansas
K-71 is a spur route that serves the city of Bern in north central Nemaha County. The route begins at an intersection with K-63 and heads east to Bern, where it ends at an intersection with 216th Road and Matthews Avenue.
K-76 was a spur route that served the unincorporated village of Williamstown in southeastern Jefferson County. The highway began at Railroad Avenue just north of the Union Pacific Railroad. K-76 headed north along Oak Street to a four-way intersection with US-24 and US-59. From that intersection, US-24 headed west toward Perry, US-59 headed north toward Oskaloosa, and the two U.S. Highways headed southeast concurrently toward Lawrence. K-76 has existed since before 1951, when the Kansas State Highway Department approved a relocation of US-24 on the north side of Williamstown through a May 23, 1951, resolution. This project moved the US-24–US-59–K-76 intersection south, and US-59 took over the northern part of K-76's course. The Kansas Department of Transportation removed K-76 from the state highway system through a January 3, 2014, resolution.
K-78 is a spur route that serves the unincorporated village of Miller in northeastern Lyon County. The highway begins at a junction of section line roads on the northern edge of the village. K-78 heads north to its end at US-56 between Admire and Osage City. A spur to Miller has been part of the state highway system since at 1936. K-78 was assigned to the Miller spur by January 1938 at the latest. Interstate 670 (Kansas–Missouri)
The road crosses the Kansas River and the West Bottoms, the former location of the Kansas City Stockyards, on the I-670 Viaduct. The leg of the highway west of I-35 has Kansas Department of Transportation signs proclaiming it the "Jay B. Dillingham Freeway" although maps list it as the "Jay B. Dillingham Memorial Highway". Dillingham was a former president of the Stockyards. List of state highway spurs in Kansas
K-279 is a spur route that serves Osawatomie State Hospital in the city of Osawatomie in southwestern Miami County. The highway begins at Osawatomie Road at the eastern entrance to the psychiatric hospital grounds. K-279 heads east, passing out of and back into the Osawatomie city limits, to a diamond interchange with US-169 and K-7, which run concurrently along the freeway bypass of Osawatomie, between Paola and Garnett. K-279 was established as the route number for a new connector between the US-169 bypass and Osawatomie State Hospital in the same July 19, 1972, resolution in which the Kansas State Highway Commission approved constructing the bypass. The highway was constructed to retain state highway access to the state hospital after US-169 was removed from Old Kansas City Road. Because the route served a state institution, K-279 was exempt from the state highway system limitation. The US-169 bypass, K-279, and their interchange opened between 1975 and 1977.
K-284 is a spur route that serves the city of Barnard in north central Lincoln County.
K-285 was a spur route that served the city of De Soto in northwestern Johnson County. The highway began at a partial cloverleaf interchange with K-10 between Shawnee and Eudora. K-285 headed north to the south city limit of De Soto, from which the highway continued north along Lexington Avenue. The Kansas State Highway Commission authorized the relocation of K-10 onto its freeway between De Soto and K-7 and the removal of old K-10 from the state highway system in a June 15, 1972, resolution. The portion of old K-10 from the freeway to the south city limit of De Soto would be retained and designated K-285. K-285 replaced the piece of K-10 north of the freeway when the K-10 freeway was completed between 1975 and 1977. In 1977, the city of De Soto expanded its limits southward; thus, the Kansas Department of Transportation removed the portion of K-285 between the old and new south city limit from the state highway system in a January 26, 1977, resolution. The resolution also stated any further annexation of the land under K-285 would automatically result in the relevant length of road being transferred to local control. The city of De Soto activated this provision of the resolution, thus removing K-285 from the state highway system, when the city annexed the remainder of the land under K-285 between 1997 and 1999. Rosa Parks
In 1994 the Ku Klux Klan applied to sponsor a portion of United States Interstate 55 in St. Louis County and Jefferson County, Missouri, near St. Louis, for cleanup (which allowed them to have signs stating that this section of highway was maintained by the organization). Since the state could not refuse the KKK's sponsorship, the Missouri legislature voted to name the highway section the "Rosa Parks Highway". When asked how she felt about this honor, she is reported to have commented, "It is always nice to be thought of." K-57 (Kansas highway)
K-57 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. It is a north-south highway that connects Junction City to Milford Lake, as well as serving as a southeasterly connection to Council Grove. The highway's mileposts are signed the wrong way; generally the mileage starts at the southern or western terminus. However, the mileposts begin at the northern terminus.

I-435, a loop route of I-35, is long and intersects with nearly every other interstate highway in the Kansas City area (except for I-635 and I-670). An additional near Kansas City International Airport is signed along with I-29 and U.S. Route 71 (US 71), making I-435 the second-longest complete beltway numbered as a single Interstate Highway in the U.S., and fifth longest in the world after Cincinnati, Ohio's I-275 at , Houston, Texas's Beltway 8 at , Berlin's Bundesautobahn 10 at , and London's M25 motorway at . The majority——of I-435 is within the state of Missouri, and most of that roadway lies within the city limits of Kansas City. The first/last exit is at I-435's parent route, I-35, in Lenexa, Kansas. Going clockwise around Kansas City, the next interchange is exit 1A for Lackman Road. The milepost numbers do not start over when I-435 crosses the state line, but where it shares the same roadway as I-29, the latter's milepost (and therefore exit) numbering takes precedence. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (song)
The Yellow Brick Road is an image taken from the 1939 film adaptation of Lyman Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz". In that film, Dorothy and her three misfit friends are instructed to follow the yellow brick road in search of the Wizard of Oz, only to find that they had what they were looking for all along. The road leads to the Emerald City in the land of Oz, often referred to as a metaphor for "The road that leads to life's fantasies" or "The road that leads to life's answers." The lyrics describe wanting to go back to a simpler existence after living what the narrator thought was a good life but realizing he has simply been treated like a pet by his rich socialite lover. Battle of Cabin Creek
The action made possible the continuation of a Union force in the Indian territory, allowing the later victories at Honey Springs and Fort Smith. Soon after the battle the Union established defensive outposts along the Texas Road, including one at the Cabin Creek crossing. The battle has the distinction of being the first in which African American soldiers (the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry) fought alongside white troops. A monument to the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry was erected on the battlefield on 7 July 2007.
The Second Battle of Cabin Creek was part of a plan conceived by Confederate Brigadier General Stand Watie (who had been promoted from colonel after the First Battle of Cabin Creek). The plan was to have a Confederate force attack central Kansas from Indian Territory, raiding Union Army facilities and encouraging Indian tribes in Western Kansas to join in an attack on the eastern part of the state. Watie presented the plan to his superior, General S. B. Maxey on February 5, 1864. Maxey approved the plan on the condition that the attack would start by October 1, to coincide with an attack on Missouri already planned by General Sterling Price.
