Need more facilities along Will Rogers Turnpike
There are four sets of service areas along the Turner Turnpike between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, but only one at Vinita "The World's Largest McDonald's" between Tulsa and Missouri Border. There was originally an eastbound near the Claremore interchange and a westbound at Miami. There is still a welcoming center but no food nor fuel except free coffee, and it is open only * a.m. to 5 p.m.
Other turnouts have only a rather filthy vault toilet if that. Those do have tilted trash barrels for easy throwing out a car window.
But they are small and have maybe one or two picnic tables.
Certainly the two closed service areas on the Will Rogers Turnpike need to be opened. Having an on-highway facility is a good concession for the intgerchganges being so few and far between. Missouri has exits every few miles or so on I-44 and excellent rest areas. One has been redone so that the picnic shelters look like old Route 66 buysinesses and have wind generatgors for power. There is a map in Terazzo floor of the old Route 66 from Chicago to L. A.
Many have travel brochures and all have road maps for distribution.
Oklahoma needs better facilities along Turnpikes and also a restaurant besides Mc Donalds.
The highway spanning restaurant near Vinita is the only one other than the Illinois Tollway Oases.
To bad for you
If you lived in Oklahoma you would know that the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority operates the turnpikes and they could care less about you needing more or better equipped rest stops.
Likewise in the winter I have traveled at highway speed in Missouri after a snow with both lanes cleared and one lane dry. Just as soon as I crossed into Oklahoma both lanes were snow packed and one couldn't drive over 35-40 mph. The difference between the last mile in MO and entering into Oklahoma was like night and day. Same when going south into Texas.
Bottom line is that you cannot get to Tulsa (from any direction) without paying a toll and the roads are poorly maintained and they could care less.
If you travel the turnpikes very often you will notice people pulled off to the side of the turnpike letting their young children (or sometimes themselves) take a leak on the edge of the road.
