Is the Indian Nation Turnpike illegal?
bugo:
The Indian Nation Turnpike in Oklahoma has no parallel free road for most of its distance. Isn't there a rule that says there must be a free alternative to all toll roads? The Indian Nation was built along an all new corridor.

There's no such rule except for U.S. Highways (and even then it's not always followed - see US 51 near Rockford, IL).

251 "counts" for that one.

No. A lot of toll roads were built along new corridors.

Assuming there was a free alternative rule, there obviously already were ways to get to the destinations served by the turnpike prior to its existence.
Such a rule prevents a situation where a toll road is the only access to a destination.
