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.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation runs
12 Travel Information Centers at key locations across Oklahoma.
