FORWARD<br />
Since 1933, the Oklahoma State Legislature and the Oklahoma Transportation<br />
Commission has designated Oklahoma’s roads, bridges, and intersections in memoriam<br />
and in commemoration of Oklahomans and Americans from all walks of life. This<br />
biennial report, published by the Planning & Research Division of the Oklahoma<br />
Department of Transportation, is a chronology of all named facilities, to date. Its purpose<br />
is to inform readers of a(n) existing named facility and its location. Also included in this<br />
publication are some biographical sketches of the individuals for which the facility is<br />
named. A (PIC) symbol in the chronology section of this publication indicates that<br />
photographic documentation is available online at the Department’s website,<br />
http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/memorial/index.htm<br />
To date, three hundred and eighty six (386) commemorative designations have<br />
been placed on Oklahoma’s highways and bridges. Such facilities were named by the<br />
legislature for iconic individuals, such as the Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.<br />
and gold medal Olympians Shannon Miller and Jim Thorpe - both Oklahoma Natives.<br />
Other facilities are similarly named for Oklahomans who were killed in action while<br />
bravely serving their country as members of the United States Armed Forces. Through<br />
the naming of such facilities, Oklahoma has placed an importance on acknowledging and<br />
remembering the outstanding contributions and brave service of it citizens and fellow<br />
Americans.<br />
Although great effort has been made to provide the reader a comprehensive list of<br />
all commemorative locations, some monuments in this publication might not presently<br />
exist or certain location descriptions might have changed. A few monument plaques have<br />
been stolen, vandalized, or moved to nearby museums or historic sites. Monuments<br />
might have also been destroyed due to widening, reconstruction, or relocation of a road or<br />
bridge. After a commemorative designation has been removed from its location, the local<br />
jurisdiction may, however, continue to honor the designated road or bridge. Though<br />
when a commemorative designation has been removed, or replaced by a legislative Act,<br />
the original commemorative designation will be dropped.<br />
Copies of Legislative and/or Transportation Commission actions pertaining to<br />
specific <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Highways</strong> and <strong>Bridges</strong> may be obtained upon request from the<br />
Planning & Research Division Engineer. Current Transportation Commission policy for<br />
dedications and commendations is presented under Title 730, Sections 15-3-1 and 15-3-2<br />
of the Oklahoma Administrative Code.<br />
To obtain a copy of this report or receive more information about a named<br />
highway or bridge, contact the Planning & Research Division of the Oklahoma<br />

LEGISLATIVE COMMEMORATION STANDARDS<br />
Before an individual or organization requests a Bill or Resolution be written by a<br />
member of the Oklahoma Legislature for the commemoration of a highway or bridge, the<br />
new standards and procedures, as part of the recent effective law, HB 1666, should be<br />
considered. Acting under the authority of the aforementioned legislation, the Department<br />
of Transportation has established a procedure to assess and collect the cost of signs<br />
naming highways and bridges on the state highway system to honor individuals who<br />
were not members of the U.S. Armed Forces killed in action. If it is the desire of an<br />
individual or group to request of the legislature to put forth legislation to name a road or<br />
bridge for someone who was not a member of the U.S. Armed Forces that was killed in<br />
action, an inquiry as to the production and placement costs of the sign can be made to the<br />
Department of Transportation. The procedures and law are included in this portion of the<br />
commemorative guide.<br />
<strong>Highways</strong> and bridges should not have multiple commemorative designations,<br />
unless otherwise directed by an Act of the Oklahoma Legislature. Therefore it is<br />
requested that a memorial commemoration not be made for a highway or bridge that is<br />
currently designated in honor of a person or group. The maps and index in this guide will<br />
help to determine which highways or bridges have currently been commemorated.<br />
After legislation is in place to name a highway or bridge, the Bill or Resolution is<br />
presented to the Oklahoma Transportation Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting.<br />
Upon approval by the Commission, the commemoration signs are ordered and fabricated<br />
through the Department’s sign shop and shipped to the corresponding Division for<br />
installation under the direction of the Division’s Traffic Engineer.<br />
In accordance with the standards listed in Commission Rule 730:15-3-1,<br />
consideration may be undertaken by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission to name<br />
highways, bridges and other facilities which are part of the state highway system. If<br />
consideration is made, it shall require a unanimous Commission vote to approve<br />
commemorative signs. The Commission is comprised of eight members and occasionally<br />
the absence of a Commissioner is unavoidable, whereby the item is tabled until the next<br />
full Commission meets. The schedule of the Commission meetings can be found online<br />
at the Department of Transportation’s website.<br />
Should any questions arise regarding the new signage law or departmental<br />
procedures, please feel free to contact Brian Bigbie, Legislative Analyst/APO IV, at<br />
(405) 522-6002.

CHAPTER 15. HIGHWAY PLANNING<br />
Subchapter 3. Highway and Bridge Signage<br />
(Effective July 12, 2012)<br />
730:15-3-1. Commission dedications and commendations<br />
(a) Highway, bridges, and other facilities which are part of the state highway system may be<br />
considered by the Transportation Commission for dedication in honor of individuals deserving of<br />
commendation for their active involvement in the project or for outstanding service to the nation,<br />
this state, or their community. Persons proposed to be so honored shall have been deceased not less<br />
than five years prior to consideration. Proposals for the dedication of state highway facilities should<br />
specifically state the accomplishments upon which the proposal is based.<br />
(b) No facility or group of related facilities shall be considered for naming in honor of more than<br />
one individual or entity, once named. Except in the most unusual circumstances, the Commission<br />
shall not consider changing the name of the facility, nor shall the Commission consider changing or<br />
designating additional names to the current named facility or city street which is also part of the state<br />
highway system.<br />
730:15-3-2. Transfer Costs of <strong>Memorial</strong> Signs<br />
(a) Elected governmental bodies may, by formally adopted resolution or legislative Act, propose the<br />
naming of highways and bridges on the state highway system to the Transportation Commission.<br />
(b) In accordance with 69 O.S. § 1600, the costs associated with the signage related to the naming<br />
of highways and bridges on the state highway system shall be paid by the group or individual<br />
sponsoring or requesting the sign. Such costs shall not apply to the naming of highways and bridges<br />
on the state highway system designed to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who<br />
were killed in action, as determined by the United States Department of Defense.<br />
(c) The procedure to assess and collect the cost of the erection of the sign, as well as the potential<br />
replacement or reconstruction of the sign, upon approval by the Transportation Commission is as<br />
follows:<br />
(1) Each memorial sign is produced using computer aided drafting personnel to determine the<br />
size of the memorial sign using standard lettering rules.<br />
(2) Pricing of the sign, itself, is based on the square footage he size of the produced sign.<br />
(3) Additional costs associated with the erection of the memorial sign include the price of sign<br />
posts, materials needed to secure the sign in the ground at its location, and labor - as<br />
determined by the respective Division where the sign is to be erected.<br />
(4) All non-labor costs associated with the aforementioned procedures are determined by, but<br />
not limited to, changes in the Producer Price Index released by the U.S. Department of Labor.

average of the cost of signs erected during the preceding fiscal year, as reported by the Department<br />
of Transportation.<br />
