Book excerpt: Pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 8-2001, local authorities (including cities) may adopt additional traffic regulations prohibiting "U-turns" where such regulations do not conflict with the provisions of the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways. Under the Uniform Act, no such ordinance regulating or prohibiting the turning of vehicles shall be effective until official traffic control devices giving notice of such local traffic regulation are erected upon or at the entrances to the highway or part thereof affected. K.S.A. 8-2002(a)(9) and (c). Accordingly, an ordinance which prescribes additional circumstances under which U-turns are prohibited (i̲.̲e̲.̲ the ordinance sets forth limitations in addition to those prescribed by K.S.A. 8-1546) is not effective until official traffic control devices giving notice of such prohibition are erected. Thus, subsections (1), (3) and (4) of section 35-323 of the Kansas City Municipal Code, which impose additional prohibitions on U-turns in the absence of official traffic control devices giving notice of such prohibitions, conflicts with subsection (c) of K.S.A. 8-2002, and is invalid pursuant to K.S.A. 8-2001. Cited herein: 8-1546; 8-2001; 8-2002.
