When you see flashing lights on the side of the road, that’s your cue to Slow Down and, if safe to do so, Move Over.

It’s not only courteous, it’s Kansas law — and it could save a life.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Keep you and your fellow drivers SAFE! ✔️✔️

Slow Down, Move Over and give them the space they need.

*Move Over laws vary. Check your state's specific laws.

KANSAS: Paving the way since 1956.😎

[Federal Highway Admn @USDOTFHWA]

Kansas laid down the foundation for modern American road trips as home to the nation’s very first section of interstate highway completed under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. 🛣️🌻

From state-shaped license plates in the 1950s to boasting the shortest, sweetest stretch of historic Route 66, the Sunflower State has a rich highway history. Take a look at these fascinating stats from highlighting Kansas's impact on American transportation.

Speeding gives you less time to react and more risk to handle.

Slow down and keep everyone safe. #DriveToZeroKansas

[Kansas Department of Transportation @KDOTHQ]

Kansas recorded 377 vehicle strikes to bridges in 2025. KDOT urges travelers to #CheckYourHeighKnowItsRight
Check vehicle & bridge heights on planned routes & lower truck beds or trailered equipment while traveling.

Wet roads can lower tire traction, cause hydroplaning and impact visibility. Remember:
⬇️Decrease speed
⬆️Increase following distance
🔛Wipers ON = Lights ON

[NE Kansas KDOT @NEKansasKDOT]

If you think it’s hot outside, remember the inside of your car can heat up by 20* in just 10 minutes, even with windows cracked.

Avoid a fatal mistake. NEVER leave kids or pets alone in a vehicle, and ALWAYS look before you lock.
