Just saw a near accident at Kellogg and Webb. There are NO left turns from NB Webb to WB Kellogg.
@WichitaPolice
have reminded drivers many times to look up... there are NO TURN LEFT SIGNS (next to the signal)!
We see so many good things in the community that we don’t talk about. While waiting for the left turns to start at Kellogg/Webb, a nice man brought out coffee to the

officers, who’ve been out in the cold directing traffic.

Are you ready to drive on East Kellogg & make left turns at Kellogg/Webb?
Here’s a look at the final preparations.
@CityofWichita
engineer says 2 lanes in each direction of Kellogg (Webb Road to K-96) will open TODAY. Left turn at Kellogg/Webb should go away by early next week.
When you’re caught on camera ... seeing the lightning strike nearby and wondering how close the next one will strike. Thankfully, we went into our car after this report and remained safe.
