The route was designated between 1953 and 1956 when US-24 was realigned to bypass Simpson.

Route description

K-194 begins at the northern city limit of Simpson, marked by the Kyle Railroad. The route travels due north on a two-lane road across a flat, treeless plain for 1.58 miles (2.54 km) before terminating at an intersection with US-24. All of the designation lies on the Cloud–Mitchell county line.

K-194 is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation. In 2012, the route's average annual daily traffic was 415 vehicles, including 40 trucks. The route is not included in the National Highway System, a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility.

History

Between 1953 and 1956, US-24 was realigned to bypass the city of Simpson. K-194 was designated on the roadway that formerly carried US-24 from Simpson to a point north of the city where it curved to the west. The route was paved at the time it was designated. The route has not changed since designation.

Major intersections

The entire route is on the Cloud–Mitchell county line.
