From the land of red, white, yellow and black.

But so what?  The "State welcome sign" is only 500 feet from the state line–in the middle of an interchange, no less.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

On the other side of the state, there's a small green sign at the state line, but the bigger welcome sign is about 2.1 miles into Indiana.

Manitowoc is very far from the state border and yet:

The I-40 Welcome Center in Texas is in the middle of the state, and serves both directions.

There is supposed to be one here, but the construction contractors who rehabilitated the viaduct didn't place it back.

This is what was there.

At least for the Julian Carroll Airport in Jackson, the sign has been updated to include the current governor's name.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

In my experience, Alabama posts welcome signs at every rest area, even the ones (hundreds of) miles within the state.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

I'm surprised they kept the old governor's name considering he was MeTooed late in his career.

This is the state that kept "where the d*****s are all gay" in its state song for decades...

Are you referring to Julian Carroll? If so, the accusation was questionable and they even kept his name on the parkway that was named for him -- at least until I-69 makes it all the way to Tennessee. At any rate, the airport was what's named after him in Breathitt County.

West Virginia posts the two-lane road-sized version of the state welcome sign at rest areas. Here's an example from the I-79 Burnsville northbound rest area in the center of the state: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sEEsiYVT3Y1rFBUo6
