I think by main thoroughfares the OP meant places like BA Expressway, Skelly Drive, and such. Those would be more like 60 or 65 right?

I believe neighborhood streets are 35. Arterial streets are 45. Expressways are 65. Turnpikes are generally 75. All this, of course, are except where otherwise marked. There are a couple of expressways that are reduced to 55 in areas where there is heavy congestion or an unsafe condition.

Do you mean the neighborhood streets are the side streets or the well traveled roads?

Default speed limits

25 for neighborhoods unless four lanes through a neighborhood then 35. 35 for all four lanes roads in the 3-5 mile radius around downtown. 45 for the rest of the city. 55 on the expressways immediatley outside downtown 65 for the rest of the city expressways. 70 in Broken Arrow and surrounding community highways. 75 on highways outside of the city. trust me, I break these speed limits on a daily basis.

Neighborhood streets are all 25 mph unless posted otherwise, the main arterials are either 35 or 40 unless you are in a more rural or industrial area, in which case you'll usually see 45 unless that area has a lot of housing additions connecting it. Some arterials closer to downtown have a speed limit of 30.

But don't forget that Tulsa has cleverly found a way to keep speeds down on all of our streets: surface, highway, frontage, alley....

Potholes. Lots of potholes.

By not filling the growing number of potholes, the city manages to keep speeding down, also reducing the number of police officers neede!
