Ok here we go kansas'''Kansas''' is a state in the Mid West of the [[United States of America|United States]]. == Law == As of 2010 the "Standard Traffic Ordinances for Kansas Cities" prepared and published in book form by the Kansas League of Municipalities declares ''hitchhiking illegal'' in all cities which adopt it's code.Not all cities upload their code to municode. com and not all municipal courts and police offices are willing to assist in making the information public over the phone, but Johnson county as well not much hereas the cities of Manhattan, Topeka, Lawrence, Emporia, El Dorado, Salina, Fort Scott, Leavenworth and Hutchinson have adopted the code. I'll start from To be safe, try to hitchhike outside of the east. Kansas city lies limits of major towns in both MOthe state of Kansas. and The exact wording of KSSTO 69(a) is as follows: Sec. 69. Pedestrians Soliciting Rides or Business. (a) No person shall stand upon or along a street or highway for the purpose of soliciting a ride. although  This overrides the K.S.A. statute that allows you to hitchhike on the shoulder or berm which claims that "no person shall stand on a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride..."Basically the new KS STO code as of 2010 makes it illegal to hitchhike anywhere near a road ''even if you are not much on the paved portion designed for the ordinary flow of anything traffic.''Wichita has not adopted the KS STO 69(a) statute but has adopted the following statute instead: Sec. 11.44.050. - Soliciting rides, business or contributions prohibited—Exceptions. (a)No person shall stand in kansas city kansas ''or in proximity to'' a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride from the city driver or occupant of any vehicle.  As of March 2012, Wyandotte County Unified Government is the only municipal body of any sizeable population in mo if you get the state of Kansas that has been confirmed to not have adopted the KS STO or a similar statute prohibiting hitchhiking anywhere near a road. This means that it ''should be legal'' to hitchhike in Wyandotte County.However when outside the eat side limits of kansas a city mo/municipal body and off the interstate and paved portion of any road or on the shoulder of said road, it is never illegal to hitchhike in the state of Kansas. Do not let the police bully you and try to tell you otherwise. theres  == Getting Through == There is a cluster of truck stops if tying along the road to get [[Colorado]], however it is advisable to CO. dont stop catch a ride going all thorough the State until ''Limon'' in kansas ha[[Colorado]]. get to Limon CO. theres In Kansas itself, there are two big rest-truck stops there the only which are actual point of interest in kansas . Those consists of before [[Lawrence]] on I70 and before [[Topeka]] also my fav place in the nation is LAWRENCE KANSAS (L-Town, larryville) whatevers you want to call it stop there check it out good people laid back hippie type lots of different kinds of music in this town , good night life big college party town. when you get there just go downtown to mass ston I70. you will find like minded down to earth folks there. K so if  If you are at the cluster of truck stops in KCMO you have bout about 2 options now first . First is take bus rides through the city to lawrence Lawrence which is an hour west of KC now this is not the easiest task I wouldnt recomend wouldn't recommend this option but it can be done first . First go hitch to kc KC so you can get a bus tyhese truckstops . These truck stops are like 10 minutes from where you can get a bus from give or take but make sure the people who bring you bring you to an exit close enough where the buses run regualyregularly ( waffle house near these truckstops is a good place to catch a ride possibily possibly talk to watristresses waitresses oh and ask bout about the waffle house table dancer she gave me ). -> ''Confused'' ' == Experiences == :''I lived in Kansas for a ride last long time she prolly works still haha anyways) now go downtown and ask bus drivers have hitched through countless times. The cops will frequently try to lie to me about it being illegal to hitchhike in the entire state. I typically tell them I am going to continue hitchhiking and say you want I know what the law says. This has lead to me being arrested once even when I was not in breach of the law, although he let me go within minutes after talking to his supervisor and suddenly became a nice guy when I insisted on taking him to court ;]. As for rides, getting them can be difficult anywhere outside of I-70. I have waited over 6 hours on multiple occasions. When possible stay on interstate 70 and try to joco Jhonson county community college catch a ride all the way through the state.'' - [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] 0:42:21, 6 March 2012 (CET) :''I'm not from Kansas, but can say my hitchhiking experience there you can get a bus was horrible to say the college in lawrence (Kleast. I was dropped of at a convenience store near Abilene on I-70. It took me 4 days to catch a ride out, hitchhiking 10 connector) now keep in mind this is goona take + hours each day. Ran out of food, out of money, and nobody cared to help. It was a stoner from Colorado who accidentally took the offramp who finally picked my up. Had that guy not been smoking too much weed while like 500 hours for waiting driving, he never would have taken that offramp and stuff they dont make it very easy but it will cost no more then 6 bucks all together aboutI'd probably still be there. Zero Stars. Now 2nd option hitch from a truck stop with a trucker most likleyWould not reccomend. K Kiddies thats all i got for ya'll right now': [[User:Jsplts|Jsplts]] 17:29:34 9 May 2023 == Cities ==* [[Kansas City]]* [[Lawrence]]* [[Topeka]]* [[Wichita]] {{Cleanup}} {{Template:States USA}}{{IsIn|United States of America}} [[Category:Kansas]][[Category:United States]][[trash:Kansas]]
