I 44 Toll Road from OKC to Tulsa

[BobbyV]

I've been avoiding the turnpikes for years. Rt66 is a nice drive.

It can be, but can also be very . . . . aggravating when you get behind farmer Joe going 45 on his way to feed cows.

And I'll gladly pay to use I-44 and the Kickapoo Turnpike to avoid driving through all of the choke points in OKC to head down to Seminole County.

That was an April Fools joke. It still ain't not no planet.

So if Pluto isn't a planet does that mean Plutonium is no longer an element?

Used to take the turnpike and get off at the Drumright exit to visit my daughter. Was $2.25 each way. Had to pay $9.70 3 weeks ago. Screw em. I just take 35 North and exit highway 33 east. Only 5 miles further, but it's free.

What does Mickey Mouse's dog have to do with a Pike Pass?


Cut employees and put in cams TO SAVE $$$$$

Reality: cost $Ms to purchase and install cams, tear down toll booths and reroute accesses. Raise tolls to cover printing, POSTAGE to send collection notices. Hire people to stuff envelopes and process payments. Raise needed to cover LOSS of toll because tribes refuse to notify State of tag owner.

Went from EFFICIENT system of collecting toll, at time and point of use by 99% of users, to another State run cluster........

Yup, has been for a bit. Have to pay for the plate cams so they can charge those who ignore tolls or do not have a pikepass. Just wait, the Feds will be charging by the mile, you'll get hit with more charges as you choose to continue to drive.

Add to list of gripes...They don't go after the out of staters when they blow through the tag readers.

The entire Plate Play, Pike Pass system is such a ripoff. Plate Pay charging more and a wonky financial scam running the bookeeping and collections out of state contractor.
And in my many turnpike drives it is one lane construction much of the trip.

Wasn't the Turner Tikepike supposed to be paid for by 1980?

Seriously considering just getting a hovercraft and saying up yours Governor.

I guess in the end it’s okay if they charge us to drive on the roads we paid for because welfare folx get a tax break at the grocery store now.
