What are the Kansas State Driving Laws?

Answer:
If you are driving in the state of Kansas, you
must follow the posted speed limits. On separated multilane highways and interstates the speed limit is 70 mph. Other state or federal highways have a speed limit of 65 mph, and county or township highways have a limit of 55 mph. Urban areas have a limit of 30 mph. If you do not follow the posted speed limit, you will be ticketed and fined. However, if you are in a 70 mph zone and are speeding less than 80 mph, the infraction does not go on your driving record. There is no law regulating the use of cellular phones while driving in Kansas.


The Seatbelt Act requires that all occupants of a car that are sitting in the front seat are properly restrained by a seatbelt. Also, parents are responsible for providing child safety seats for children under the age of four. The fine for a seatbelt infraction is $10.  Also, Kansas law requires that all people age 17 and younger who are on a motorcycle wear a helmet.

If you are driving in Kansas and approach an emergency vehicle on the side of the road that is displaying its lights, you need to move to the lane opposite that vehicle. If you are driving and an emergency vehicle with lights flashing is approaching, you must yield the right of way. Also, you must pull over to the right hand side of the road if at all possible until the vehicle has passed. You must never follow emergency vehicles.
