Oklahoma has an extensive turnpike system, maintained by the state government through the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. All of Oklahoma's turnpikes are controlled-access. The majority have at least four lanes, though the Chickasaw Turnpike is two lanes. Tolls on Oklahoma's turnpikes are collected through several methods, particular to each turnpike, involving mainline and sidegate toll plazas. Tolling is not ticket-based, as on other turnpikes, like the Kansas Turnpike to the north. Tolls can be paid through cash (at either unmanned exact-change bays or manned booths, depending on the plaza) or through the Pikepass transponder system. ==Turnpikes== The Cherokee Turnpike is part of U.S. Highway 412 in eastern Oklahoma, The Chickasaw Turnpike connects U.S. 177 just north of Sulphur to State Highway 1 south of Ada. The turnpike is two lanes for its entire length. The Cimarron Turnpike begins at Interstate 35 in Noble County (east of Enid) and ends in the western suburbs of Tulsa. The turnpike is part of US-412. It also has a spur to the southwest to US-177 north of Stillwater. The Creek Turnpike runs around the outskirts of Tulsa, forming a southern bypass of Tulsa's core area. The Creek Turnpike terminates at Interstate 44 on both ends, and acts as a bridge between the Turner and Will Rogers Turnpikes. The H. E. Bailey Turnpike serves southwestern Oklahoma and is part of Interstate 44. The H.E. Bailey turnpike has two separate parts, with a free section running through eastern Lawton. This turnpike connects Wichita Falls, Texas to Lawton, Chickasha, and Oklahoma City. It has a spur to the east, the Norman Spur, towards Newcastle and Goldsby. The Indian Nation Turnpike passes through southeast Oklahoma, beginning at Hugo, Oklahoma and angling northwest to end at Interstate 40 south of Henryetta, Oklahoma. The Kilpatrick Turnpike runs through the north and west sides of the Oklahoma City metro, running from I-40 to I-35/44, where it becomes the Turner Turnpike. This route acts as one quarter of a pseudo-beltway, proving access to the suburbs of Yukon and Edmond. The Muskogee Turnpike begins at State Highway 51 in Broken Arrow and continues southeast to Muskogee. A second section of the turnpike connects Muskogee to I-40 at Webbers Falls. The two sections are connected by a freeway, carrying part of State Highway 165. The Turner Turnpike was Oklahoma's first turnpike, connecting Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The Turner Turnpike parallels historic U.S. Route 66 (now State Highway 66), and carries Interstate 44. The Will Rogers Turnpike connects Tulsa to the Missouri state line near Joplin. Like the Turner Turnpike, this turnpike serves as a parallel route to US-66 and carries I-44. The rest area near Vinita is promoted as containing the World's Largest McDonald's. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turnpikes of Oklahoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
