Our data indicates an estimated average traffic volume of 5,504 vehicles per day in Oklahoma that results in 103,813,441 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈37.9 billion per year). The traffic stream is comprised of an average of 1 truck for every 9 vehicles. Typical time spent behind the wheel per trip is 32.7 minutes, which already accounts for delays at signals, intersections, and congestion.
Analytical insight
When compared to the US national averages: Oklahoma's average daily traffic volume is 21% lower than the national average - 5,504 vehicles per day against 6,986 - suggesting less traffic load per road, a critical factor for logistics and site planning. Across the whole network that adds up to 103,813,441 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈37.9 billion per year), roughly 1.4% of the national total. At 32.7 minutes, the average travel time is 2% lower than the national level. At 35% lower than the national level, the 12.3% congestion ratio signals smoother traffic flow - crucial for traffic control improvement and logistics planning. 34% of states nationwide see less traffic than Oklahoma's 5,504 vehicles per day. Its average travel time of 32.7 minutes is longer than 32% of states nationwide.

How Oklahoma compares
Oklahoma against nearby states
Set against the average of the 4 states nearest to it, Oklahoma moves 38.7% of the total daily travel and is 25.3% less congested; it has the third busiest roads of the five. The same kind of road, just less of it: traffic per road matches the states around it while the network itself is smaller.
Oklahoma and the 4 nearest states by centroid distance, with the United States average for scale.
Oklahoma's three busiest counties account for 36.8% of all the vehicle-miles measured in the state.
Ranked by daily vehicle-miles, across the 77 counties in Oklahoma with a published traffic page. Vehicle-miles is total travel, so this ranks by traffic MOVED rather than by how busy a typical road is.
Oklahoma's five most truck-intensive counties account for just 8.3% of the truck vehicle-miles driven in the state. Truck share says where trucks dominate the mix; it does not say where the freight is.
Ranked by truck share of all traffic, across the same 77 counties, shown with the traffic volume that share is measured against.
The average daily traffic volume is calculated at 5,504 vehicles per day, providing a baseline for daily operations and site assessment.
Oklahoma's average travel time of 32.7 minutes is longer than 32% of states nationwide.
The average travel time for drivers is 32.7 minutes, offering a standard metric for commute and delivery route planning.
Traffic volumes are typically 3% higher during April–June. Volumes drop to their lowest levels in January, averaging 5,014 vehicles per day - a 9% decrease from the annual average.
