Route 283 was a short highway in the Kansas City, Missouri regional area. Its northern terminus was at Interstate 29 and U.S. Route 71 in Kansas City; its southern terminus was at Route 9 at the northern city limit of North Kansas City. It was known locally as North Oak Trafficway.

Route description

Route 283 began at a fork from Route 9 northbound in North Kansas City. The two routes forked away from one another, with Route 283, the North Oak Trafficway, crossing Northwest 32nd Avenue as a four-lane divided highway. North of Northwest 32nd, Route 283's four lanes came back together and bent northward over a creek as it entered Water Works Park along the southbound side. The route headed due north, becoming commercial northbound and residential southbound. This changed to a long commercial district in Kansas City before intersecting with Northeast Briarcliff Road/Northeast 42nd Street. At that point, the four-lane highway returned to a mixed residential/business stretch until Northeast 46th Street. After Northeast 46th, Route 283 entered an interchange with I-29 and US 71, where the designation terminated at ramps just south of US 69 and Anita B. Gorman Park.
