Kansas Roads

The photo above was on US 83 SB, taken in 1985 by Michael Summa. The sunflower is five feet tall, and there is a break in the border where the slanted pole comes toward the ground (what a unique way to prop up a sign!). The reflective surface on the sign continues a short way down the pole, for no apparent reason other than added coolness.

This photo and its closeup (click on it) come from J.P. Nasiatka. This is where US 169 leaves I-35 SB at KS 7, though US 50 and 56 WB are also along for the ride but get no credit. Notice that the signage hints that there is a split in the exit ramp, as if this were a freeway exit. In fact, it's nothing of the sort, but a simple diamond that's somewhat transfigured by East 151st St. running across a couple of the ramps (and multiplexing with KS 7). I-35 is what ruined the original + intersection of 151st and 7.
