	Kansas Turnpike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kansas City end was set at 18th Street and Muncie Boulevard, which was to be extended and upgraded to a freeway (the Muncie Expressway) to the Intercity Viaduct by the state.
		Kansas Turnpike mileposts, which are also used to number exits, are continuous along the entire length of the turnpike.
		When the Turnpike first opened, the US 160 interchange was a reversed diamond with four loop ramps, so that all traffic using the interchange had to pass under the bridge and thus through the toll plaza.

	1993-130 \| 10/1/1993 \| Kansas Attorney General Opinion

	81558 -- Rockers v. Kansas Turnpike Auth. -- Larson -- Kansas Supreme Court
		The Kansas Turnpike Authority is an arm or agency of the State created by the legislature to perform an essential governmental function.
		The Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) is not a municipality as defined by K.S.A. 12-105a and therefore the notice of claim requirements of K.S.A. 12-105b(d) do not apply to persons having claims against the KTA, which could give rise to an action brought under the Kansas Tort Claims Act.
		The Kansas Tort Claims Act, K.S.A. 75-6101 to 75-6115, inclusive, provides that "governmental entities" shall be liable for the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of their employees acting in the scope of their employment, subject to the limitations of the Act.

	1993-135 \| 10/14/1993 \| Kansas Attorney General Opinion
		The Kansas Supreme Court has consistently held that, for purposes of tort liability, the turnpike authority is an arm or agency of the state created by the legislature to perform an essential governmental function.
		Further, the members of the turnpike authority board are heads of a department of the state who are appointed by the governor or other elected state officers, and are the executive heads of an office, department, division or institution established by law.
		It is therefore our opinion that members of the turnpike authority board are members of the unclassified service under the Kansas civil service act, and thus are state officers for purposes of the governmental ethics laws.
