I collect my spare change just to donate to OK when I visit my OKC friends.
The Creek Turnpike is a killer.

Turnpikes suck, but they are the best roads we have. At least you aren’t tearing the $hit out of your expensive cars.

Just pushing through an interstate may take 20 years with lots of cost overruns. A turnpike can be in within five years because the state will make more money with the tolls brought in than twenty years of construction money.

Turner Turnpike was supposed to be a free road when the bonds were paid off back around 1965. It is such a cash cow that it is still a toll road.

Yes! They are wonderful. Unlike the “free” public roads, the turnpikes are actually maintained.
