Travel Information
The Kansas Turnpike tries to ensure the safety of its customers through routine maintenance and construction, customer and employee education programs and increased efforts of the Kansas Highway Patrol Troop G.In the early 1990s, the KTA completed the installation of the barrier wall in the median between the four lanes of traffic. This wall is estimated to save approximately 10 lives each year and prevent countless numbers of serious injuries. The barrier wall and the Turnpike's limited access help increase safety for motorists.

The KTA also provides services to its customers through the following methods:

• Each year, the KTA sponsors a rollover demonstration to teach customers of the importance of wearing a seatbelt. The annual demonstration is usually held at a Turnpike Service Area during a busy holiday weekend, offering the KTA a chance to reach more customers. The Turnpike also participates in "Put the Brakes on Fatalities" day held annually on October 10.
  
  
• Six service areas located strategically along the Turnpike provide opportunities for fuel, food, ATMs, weather information, and other necessary items and services. These service areas are located at mileposts 26, 65, 97, 132, 188, and 209. For more information on the Turnpike's service areas, please visit our frequently asked questions page.
