Route description
K-95 is not included in the National Highway System.[4] The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility. K-95 does connect to the National Highway System at its southern and northern terminus, US-83.[5] 2017 Annual average daily traffic (AADT) on K-95 ranged from 125 near the northern terminus, 275 near Lake Scott State Park and 575 near the southern terminus.[6] The entire route is paved with partial design bituminous pavement.[2][7]
