Oklahoma Department
of Transportation runs 12 Travel Information Centers at key locations across
Texas.
The Travel Information Centers are staffed by uniformed, professional travel
counselors who welcome visitors to Oklahoma, while providing
traveling tourists Oklahoma Travel Guides, Oklahoma Maps, Brochures covering all sorts
of information and plenty of fresh, hot coffee. Some of the Oklahoma Travel
Centers have gift shops where you will find Oklahoma souvenirs.
The Travel Center counselors will help you plan your Oklahoma Trip,
helping with directions, pointing you to attractions along the way that you
won't want to miss. .
After you tell the Travel Center counselor what you'd like to
see and where you want to go in Oklahoma they will help you locate Travel Guides,
Maps and Brochures to help with directions, finding points of interest,
attractions and recreational locations along your route.
Oklahoma has 3 three major interstates: I-35, I-40 and I-44. Turnpikes are located on I-44 and other
areas of the state. Maximum speed limits on interstates outside of city limits are
70 mph, while most turnpikes allow a maximum speed limit of 75 mph. Seat belts are required to be worn in Oklahoma.
For more information on Oklahoma's turnpikes, call 1-800-PIKEPASS.
Oklahoma's Tourist Department has divided the state into six
regions. They are Red Carpet Country, Green Country, Great Plains Country,
Frontier Country, Arbuckle Country and Kiamichi Country. Red Carpet Country is
so named due to its red soil and the friendly natives rolling out the red carpet
for visitors. Arbuckle Country is where the Arbuckle Mountains are, along with 5
major lakes, including Lakes Texoma and Murray. Frontier Country is the land
settled during the one day Land Run of 1889. It is also where Oklahoma City
is.located. The other country names are self-explanatory, except for Kiamichi
Country. We think the Kiamichi must be a Native American tribe. We do know
Kiamichi Country is a region of rivers, canyons, hills, valleys and tree-covered
trails.
