Source-derived summary

The State Highways in Kansas are the state highways owned and maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) in the U.S. state of Kansas. They are numbered with a K- prefix, e.g. K-10 or K-66.

State highways

By Kansas law, no state highway may exist entirely within city limits. As a result, some highways have been given to cities as they annex the land around them, as is the case with the eastern branch of K-150 in the Kansas City area, which is now entirely within Olathe and Overland Park. This part of K-150 is now known as Santa Fe in Olathe and 135th Street in Overland Park.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “List of state highways in Kansas” as wikimedia list article. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around List, state and highways.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 109-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, state and highways providing the first useful test.
