TURNER DIAGONAL


The 'Turner Diagonal' (map) is a short freeway in Kansas City, Kansas. It runs from Kansas Avenue northwest to U.S. Route 24 (State Avenue). It does not have a single numbered designation, though the entire route was formerly signed as K-132 east of I-70 and is currently signed as K-32 from Kansas Avenue to the first interchange, and as U.S. 40 from the interchange with Interstate 70 to its northern terminus.
It is named "Turner Diagonal" because it runs diagonally and because it runs into and out of the Turner neighborhood in Kansas City. It provides a convenient shortcut to I-635, bypassing the stoplights on State Avenue and Parallel Parkway. The speed limit is 55 miles per hour for the entire length of the freeway.
