Cashless Tolling coming soon to Kansas Turnpike
« on: July 14, 2023, 09:44:12 PM »

There's a big thread on the Oklahoma Turnpikes going to a cashless system. It's time to give their northern neighbor some love.

As a regular commuter on the Turnpike between Lawrence and Topeka, I have seen the new gantries for the Cashless tolling service go up.

* There are gantries for both directions on each side of Exit 202. The westbound gantries on the east side of Exit 202 also have a new Exit arrow sign for the exit on the Gantry. How do I know it's a new sign: It's in FHWA Series E(M).

* There's an eastbound gantry just east of the Topeka Service Plaza, and a westbound gantry right at the west end of the Topeka Service Plaza.

* The new gatries have streetlight-style lighting. (as opposed to those giant light towers) There are currently blue signs stating "Cashless Tolling Coming 2024"

Peace to you, and... don't drive like my brother.
