General Driving Directions
Getting around Topeka is easy. The streets are laid out in a grid pattern, making it easy to explore the capital city by car.
Street addresses in Topeka are numbered starting from Kansas Avenue and First Street downtown. Generally, north/south streets are named, and east/west streets are numbered. Compass points (i.e., SW, NW, NE, SE) indicate in which quadrant of the city the address is located.
Interstate 70 runs through Topeka along the Kansas River, which separates the city. Interstate 470 is a loop that conveniently connects east and west I-70 to I-335 on the south and to U.S. 75. This makes for easy access from any corner of Topeka to another.
