The Kansas Highway Patrol is reminding motorists to slow down as they make their way to K-State football games this fall.
According to Trooper Ben Gardner with Troop C, one driver was clocked traveling 112 mph in a 75 mph zone over the weekend on Interstate 70 in Geary County. That’s 37 miles over the speed limit and a ticket of $408.
Gardner says with another K-State home game this weekend, it’s more important to arrive safely than rushing to the game.

Several construction projects will impact gameday travel this fall.
In Geary County, traffic on I-70 is reduced to one lane in both directions head-to-head between exit 297 and mile marker 300, for an ongoing pavement replacement project. In addition, the two new roundabouts being installed on US 24 at the K-13 and K-113 intersections will impact gameday traffic from the north throughout the season, while construction on Anderson Avenue will impact traffic in town both to and from the games.
