Driving in Oklahoma City in the winter is hectic. When the snowstorms come, or even ice, many drivers opt to hit the highways as opposed to cruising through the main city streets.

It may feel like you have come in contact with every driver in the metro area, and if you’re not looking to get stuck in the slow-moving traffic, there may be a way to evade it all.

Oklahoma provides a map of the cameras throughout their highway systems with views of how traffic, snowfall and other factors impact your commute.

If you’re looking for a way to slide through the traffic, here are some ways you can prepare for the road ahead.

How are the roads in OKC?

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation provides a map of all highways, interstates and streets going through the state. Some parts of the roadways feature live cameras, allowing you to see active traffic flow throughout the state.

As these are live, you can also see how the weather may have impacted the roadway throughout the day.

NORMAN — In the middle of his signing day press conference Wednesday, Oklahoma coach Brent Venables got word that wide receiver Jayden Petit had signed with the Sooners.

Venables called Petit a “freakazoid.”

“Big, strong, athletic, amazing, not only in catch radius but his strain at the top of the route, again, for a guy in high school is just a little bit different,” Venables said. 

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Petit’s recruitment was emblematic of the Sooners’ recruiting approach under Venables and general manager Jim Nagy.

Venables and wide receivers coach Emmett Jones stayed in contact with Petit even after the Naples, Florida, product committed to Wisconsin in June, less than three weeks after taking an official visit to Norman.

Petit flipped to the Sooners on Thanksgiving and signed Wednesday.

“They stayed with it,” Venables said of his staff’s approach to Petit. “And where a lot of people would grow weary, they didn’t. And again, same things they sold in recruiting, I think, came to fruition. And Jayden’s a really spiritual guy and I think he just had a peace about coming to Oklahoma.”

The Oklahoma Sooners landed a signature from four-star wide receiver Jahsiear Rogers on Wednesday’s early signing day, as they continue to add to their 2026 recruiting class. 

Rogers was ranked as a four-star prospect by 247Sports Composite, and he is from Appoquinimink High School in Middletown, Delaware. He stands at 5-foot-11, weighs 180 pounds, and was ranked as the 43rd-best WR in the ’26 class.  

Rogers committed to wide receivers coach Emmett Jones on October 27th, a couple of weeks after receiving an offer. Rogers decommitted from Penn State, in the wake of former head coach James Franklin’s firing, to join the Sooners. He also held offers from Nebraska, Indiana, and Alabama, among others. 

Jones has been busy rebuilding the wide receiver group since the disastrous 2024 season, and he’s adding a blue-chip target in the form of the Nittany Lions flip. Rogers is one of four wideouts that Oklahoma landed on signing day.
