Description
Near 21st and Kingsrow, everyday I see cars speeding at dangerously high speeds. The crosswalk signs are not enough. I witnessed 3 different pedestrians attempting to cross the walk but no cars stopped and continued speeding. At night a lot of muscle cars race at this location too. This has been going on for years. We need signs with lights to warn cars to slow down or a stop light. It’s only time before someone gets hit and killed at this location. Deer also live in this area and sometimes walk on 21st street.

Thank you for your request, and I have some good news. This intersection and crosswalk have been identified as needing RRFBs installed (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons) along with several others across the city. We hope to begin upgrading these this fall. As for the speeding in general, this is already a known trouble spot and law enforcement survey it often, and unfortunately this is the limit of what we can provide here until the RRFBs are installed to provide pedestrians a more visible crossing space.
If you have any further questions please feel free to call 785-368-3842 and we'll be happy to assist. Thank you.

All evening a person can hear the fast cars with the loud exhaust.

or both?
