If going into Texas, there are at least 17 toll roads operated by almost as many different authorities that do not work together on pass systems. Most, however, are in urban areas, either "fast" routes to the suburbs, or bypasses like the one around Austin. In some cases, the toll road is just a special "thru" lane on a freeway, and you wouldn't be on it with a RV, any sort of large vehicle or a tow. Some don't take cash, so unless you have the pass, you just don't use the road.

The whole state of OK is one big toll road. I-Pass does not work there. See above wiki article.
With 10 turnpikes, it might look like that. But you don't have to use them. It is how we get roads built without Federal money.
I-35 crosses the state north to south with no tolls.
I-40 crosses the state east to west with no tolls.
I-44 crosses the state diagonally from NE corner to Wichita Falls, Texas, via three separate turnpikes with freeways through urban areas. The sections of this from the NE corner to Oklahoma City are the turnpikes most used by people passing through.
Overall, only 606 miles of the 113,000 miles of public road in Oklahoma are toll roads.
Compare to 286 miles of toll road in Illinois, not counting the Chicago Skyway and toll bridge mileage.
I knew I'd probably rile somebody up. 🙂
We were coming from Wichita Falls heading to St. Louis, with our fiver, and I recall the tolls added up to quite a bit of cash. There was not any good way to go around them for our journey.
