The ramp to I-70 from K-7 highway in Bonner Springs, KS is a good place to catch a ride to [[Topeka]] and points West including [[Lawrence]]. The on ramp to 70 here is very long and abnormal and the majority of the ramp is turnpike property. Make sure you are standing right off the side of K-7 and don't go walking more than a couple feet onto the "ramp" or the cops will get on your case. Just stand before the giant metal cross-brace sign that goes over the road where you turn off of K-7 to get to 70. In Bonner Springs hitchhiking is completely legal, although the turnpike authority will try to tell you otherwise. Have no fear as they can't do anything if you aren't on turnpike property.
[[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] was arrested here for being a pedestrian on turnpike property and let go 20 minutes later with a warning not to hitchhike. He left the turnpike property and continued to hitchhike on the edge of the road before the ramp and they never came back to bother him.
Hitching to [[Lawrence]] may be easier from K-10, but you will have to be out of any city limits or risk being arrested as it is illegal in any city limits outside of Wyandotte county.
