HB 2124 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing cities the authority to allow the driving of golf carts upon sidewalks and permitting local authorities with jurisdiction over city residence districts to reduce the maximum speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour without an engineering and traffic investigation.

HB 2124 designates specific highway segments and a bridge in Kansas for commemorative purposes. It names a portion of U.S. Highway 160 (from Argonia east to Eden Road) as the CPL Monte Wayne Forrest memorial highway, a portion of U.S. Highway 77 as the POW MIA memorial highway, and bridge No. 82-14-6.88 in Clay County as the POW MIA memorial bridge. The bill requires the state transportation secretary to install standard highway signs along these routes per existing law. This is a ceremonial designation with no new funding, regulations, or policy changes.
