Here's a humorous sign tree of (air) distances from Prudhoe Bay AK in 1994. Part of the joke is that Arco's am/pm c-store/gas stations have relatively low-priced gas, nothing like the ridiculous gas prices just south of the Arctic Ocean.

Gill => London (UK) or Los Angeles (CA):

Curious to know if that sign satisfies the "officially posted" requirement.

Only officially-posted signs. No handmade, advertising, etc. signs.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Male pronouns, please.

Prudhoe Bay is a company town, and Arco was one of the companies. I'm assuming the sign was posted by company employees, or someone with permission to use the Arco company logo.

To move along, Stratford => Dana Point (CA):

Emporia => Anento, Spain. I tweeted this sign just to play it :sombrero:.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.
