Get all ways of a specific tag with Overpass Turbo (geocode)

How do I get all ways in a US state (e.g. Oklahoma) which have the "tiger:cfcc" tag?

I've tried to query for it here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/wLz:

[out:json][timeout:300];

{{geocodeArea:Oklahoma}}->.searchArea;
way["tiger:cfcc"]
  (area.searchArea);

out body;

>;
out skel qt;

May you please help me bringing it to work?

One Answer:

I guess you won't be able to get it to work. Even a small area has many ways and will be a large query:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/wLH

(I've used out center there, so it isn't returning all the nodes, but it gets the point across)

Your best bet is to grab an extract from https://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/oklahoma.html and process that locally using osmium or osmosis.

As ever I'd recommend the osmconvert/osmfilter combination for simple filtering problems like this. These can be downloaded and run as is, which is not true of osmium, and not always true for osmosis.
