The last time I was near Santa Barbara I recall seeing a couple white on green "END FREEWAY" signs. It was around the La Conchita area where US-101 becomes a typical road for a few miles and then resumes as a freeway.

Just checked Google StreetView and this is what I found on US 101 north of Santa Barbara...

http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=la+conchita,+CA&aq=&sll=34.434514,-119.915739&sspn=0.004964,0.007092&ie=UTF8&hq=la+conchita,&hnear=California&ll=34.434089,-119.914674&spn=0.00125,0.001773&z=19&layer=c&cbll=34.434038,-119.914524&panoid=hDQn1jm4811qruf3oPNLqQ&cbp=12,310.61,,1,2.93

The "END FREEWAY" sign is the standard black-on-white sign used in California.

If I owned a dam and decided to donate it to charity, would I be giving a dam? I'm sure that might be a first because no one really gives a dam.

Well, it was white on green last time I was in that area, which was many years back. That was the only place I ever noticed such a color scheme, though.

Also, looking at that map location, I seem to recall the sign being in a slightly different spot, too. I remember it being in the central median before hitting La Conchita. Maybe it's been moved since.

Or maybe you're wrong.

If it wasn't the actual freeway end sign, then it was some kind of warning sign about the freeway ending in the central median. But this was before they had the major mud slides in the area back in 2005, so they might have made some minor changes to the freeway portion of 101 since then.

Anyway, I see I got us off-topic.
