Comment from Baloo Uriza
Not quite sure how a five lane road works out as secondary?

The class of a road is not determined by its width but its significance. Primary means in this case a state-wide importance which these suburban collector roads certainly don't have. And if they were significant enough to justify primary then the whole road would need to be marked primary and not just a short section.

Comment from Baloo Uriza
Importance to the state usually warrants a minimum of secondary, but major urban arterials can also be primary. Generally speaking, cities in Oklahoma (especially the ones that fall into the top 2% largest cities in America by population) are very reliable in giving the highest significance roads at least 5 lanes, the next order down four lanes, and tertiaries 2 or 3 lanes. How major boulevards in at least the largest urban areas aren't of major statewide significance and minor national significance is definitely debatable. I believe downgrading these boulevards at least partially downplays the context of the ways in question: They're some of the busiest Oklahoma has.
I'm also curious where you're getting the "whole road" concept from instead of between significant junctions or major change in characteristic for the way, which is the general norm, especially when roads in Oklahoma can go on for dozens or hundreds of miles, changing context multiple times along the way.
