'''Kansas City''' is a city at the border of [[Kansas]] and [[Missouri]] spreading on both side of the State line. The current area population is around two million people. As with any city this size, it can be tricky to navigate. Travelling within the city can be especially difficult due to Kansas City's lack of reliable public transportation, and the attitude of the locals with regards to picking people up. If you stick to the advice in this article, you shouldn't have any trouble catching a long distance ride out of town once you get to a good ramp. == Law Hitchhiking out ==[[File:hitchingKC.jpg|thumb|400px| ''Where to hitchhike in Kansas City:'' The purple shaded section is illegal to hitchhike in. Each colored circle corresponds to the best ramp to hitchhike from to go in a given direction. <br> North: Red <br> North/East: Orange <br> East: Yellow <br> South: Green <br> South/West: Blue <br> West: Brown]]=== North towards [[Omaha]] ===The best ramp to hitch to get to Omaha is probably the intersection of Barry Road and Interstate 29. This is a very busy ramp and has a lot of services promoting long distance traffic such as fast food, gas stations, and hotels. Missouri Hwy 92 and Interstate 29 just north of where I435 and I29 meet up would also be a good place.
Additionally, exit 25 in Kearney on I-35 can be helpful for heading north. The cops may not always mind, but citizens will call 911 Shoulder is extremely wide on the northbound on you at which point -ramp and most motorists pulling off from the cops will south heading north to re-fuel have ample time to tell see you to stop hitchhiking. Hitchhiking here from practically anywhere on the I-35 corridor in the KC metro area is extremely easy.
Avoid going south on US Hwy 69. [[User:'''Missouri Side'''On Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] got a ride from [[Lawrence]] to KC to hitch south on the US 69.
