Muskogee County application cites LIDAR sample showing widespread speeding, with some drivers at 100 mph
Summary
An OHSO grant application for Muskogee County cites a December 2025 LIDAR survey of 209 vehicles showing 43.5% exceeded posted limits by more than 10 mph, 18.7% exceeded by more than 15 mph, and a maximum observed speed of 100 mph; the application ties these findings to local crash data.
The Muskogee County Sheriff's Office application to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office describes a local speeding problem backed by a LIDAR sample and county crash statistics. Between Dec. 19 and Dec. 22, 2025, the application reports the office recorded speeds for 209 vehicles at five locations; 91 vehicles (43.5%) were traveling more than 10 mph over the limit, 39 vehicles (18.7%) were traveling more than 15 mph over the limit, and the maximum observed speed was 100 mph.
The application also cites OHSO crash data for 2022–2023 showing 23 total county fatalities, including six speed-related deaths, five involving unrestrained occupants, four alcohol-related and four drug-related fatalities. The document argues these patterns — combined with high rates of excessive speed across residential streets, school-adjacent corridors and major highways — justify targeted high-visibility enforcement.
