State Highway 15 (abbreviated OK-15 or SH-15) is the name for two once-connected state highways in Oklahoma. One begins at the Texas state line and runs through Woodward; the other runs between U.S. Route 64/U.S. Route 412 and State Highway 18 north of Pawnee. SH-15 has no lettered spur routes.

[edit] Route descriptions
[edit] Western section
The western SH-15 begins at the Texas state line, connecting to Texas' State Highway 15 between Catesby and Shattuck. It runs east for seven miles (11.2 km) to U.S. 283, which it duplexes with into Shattuck. In Shattuck, SH-15 splits off to the northeast, heading through Gage and Fargo, before ending in Woodward.
[edit] Eastern section
The eastern SH-15 picks up a U.S. 64/412 south of Garber, and begins duplexed with State Highway 74 heading northbound. It splits from SH-74 to head through Billings and has an interchange with Interstate 35 at milemarker 203. It then has a four-mile (6.4 km) duplex with U.S. Route 77. After leaving U.S. 77, it passes through Red Rock, and has another four-mile (6.4 km) duplex, this time with U.S. 177, and splits off just north of the intersection with the Cimarron Turnpike. It bridges Sooner Lake and runs for 15 more miles (24 more km) before ending at State Highway 18 north of Pawnee.
[edit] History
The two sections of SH-15 were once connected into one highway. However, when U.S. Route 412 was commissioned, the middle section of highway (from Woodward to Garber) was redesignated as U.S. 412, and SH-15 decommissioned through that section.
