Here are a few fun facts:
🛣️ Route 66 Pioneer: A Tulsa businessman helped create the national 1926 highway numbering system and picked "66" for the famous highway, earning him the title "Father of Route 66."
⚠️ The First Yield Sign: In 1950, Tulsa police officer Clinton Riggs designed the very first "Yield" sign to improve intersection safety.
🅿️ Parking Meter Innovation: In 1935, the world's first mechanical parking meter was installed in downtown Oklahoma City to manage curb space!
By the numbers in Oklahoma:
📊 46 billion vehicle-miles traveled annually
📊 115,560 miles of roads
📊 3,707,717 vehicle registrations
📊 2,564,949 licensed drivers
