Speed limit increases along US-412 from Woodward to Boise City

The Oklahoma Transportation Commission this week unanimously approved increasing the speed limit to 70 mph along a 185-mile stretch of US-412. The speed limit previously was 65 mph. The increase begins at the western edge of Woodward and extends north and west to Boise City.

Oklahoma Department of Transportation crews began installing new signage along the route today and will continue installation through the next week.

The department completed a speed study of the route before presenting the change to the commission. There are an estimated 5,000 vehicles a day on average at both Woodward and Boise City using the corridor.

All municipalities along the route passed resolutions acknowledging the speed limit change. Communities impacted by the change are Woodward, Fort Supply, May, Slapout, Bryan’s Corner, Balko, Elmwood, Hardesty, Guymon, Four Corners and Boise City.
