Traffic flow and congestion are the number one concern of residents based on recent citywide surveys.

Overland Park has many ways of addressing these issues, including widening existing roads, constructing new turn lanes and making operational changes to traffic signals (OP has almost 250 traffic signals).

Each year, the Public Works Department conducts a number of studies to access traffic conditions. The links below will allow you to view the results of our data collection/analysis efforts as well as provide access to real-time traffic information from our citywide traffic camera network.
