Alot of freeways when they end have an "End-freeway XX Miles" sign on them. I think this is very useful however not all freeways have this, especially when the freeway ends at a light.
A couple in Cincinnati I can think of off the top of my head are these two.

What is interesting is that alot of freeway ends do not have these signs. That could be a problem sometimes. Alot of times on shorter isolated sections of freeways that are 4 lane expressways on each end aren't marked as freeways at all.
These signs should defiantly be required. It is very unsafe to not have them. I know of one place in Chattanooga, TN like this. It is on SR 153 just north of the dam. Not surprising considering how piss-poor their signage is.
Also, there is one in the DFW area. It is on SH 114 WB in Roanoke. You'd expect better from TXDOT.

Agreed
Most locations in Massachusetts where a freeway ends at an at-grade intersection, and the road or route does not continue on a surface road, are signed with "ROAD ENDS X MILE" signs. The only location I'm aware of where "FREEWAY ENDS X MILE" (with a nice four section wig-wag beacon BTW) is used is on MA 140 southbound in New Bedford between I-195 and US 6. In this case, MA 140 continues on a surface road past US 6.
Where the freeway section of MA 57 westbound in Agawam ends and joins MA 187, it is signed as "ALL TRAFFIC MUST EXIT" with banners on the exit guide signs, but there are no advance "FREEWAY ENDS" or "ROAD ENDS" signs.
US 6 eastbound (Mid-Cape Highway) continues past the end of it's 'super-2' freeway section onto a surface road in Orleans. However, there are no "FREEWAY ENDS" signs. I suspect this is because the 'super-2' ends at a large traffic circle (aka "rotary" in Massachusetts jargon).

When you say that does the roadway continue on as a surface road or completely end? If it continues as a surface street it should be a freeway ends sign

In those cases, the route or roadway does not continue on a surface road. 140 in New Bedford and 57 in Agawam seem to be the only exceptions to that. US 6 (Mid-Cape Highway) in Orleans also continues past the end of the "super 2" freeway section in Orleans onto a surface road, but has no FREEWAY ENDS signs. I've modified my original post to clarify.

WA-522 up north also has "Freeway Ends" signs, as does WA-509. Interestingly, all three of these freeways have had extensions planned for them that were never constructed. It would seem then, that WSDOT posted them only where freeways were planned to be extended.

If a freeway ends, CA is very good about signing it.
There are a few ways that freeways end. Along some rural parts of 101 and 99, the road generally continues through, but there is some cross-traffic that the signs will warn you about. FOr the most part, the through traffic can continue at speed (even as high as 65), and for most drivers they aren't usually aware that the road made any significant change.
If the road ends at another freeway, then the freeway doesn't really end, even if there are metering lights on the transition road.
If a freeway ends at a signal or a stop sign, there will be plenty of warning about that.
Any European-style end of motorway/freeway signs in America? I know they're not used, but has there been any put up anyway for some reason?

I would agree with you, if only SR-526 had any such aspirations, but it has a freeway ends sign. WSDOT seems to place them when the freeway does not end in an Interchange or converts to a boulevard/avenue. With 161/167, there is a traffic signal, same for SR-525, and SR-526, and there is a traffic signal if you follow the route for SR-509 just past the ramp.
There are freeway ends warning signs on I-110 N as it approaches US 61 (scenic hwy.) north of Baton Rouge.
NY 531 in Brockport, NY has "EXPRESSWAY ENDS" signs at 1 mile and 1/2 mile and also a BGS for NY 36/Washington St. with a "BE PREPARED TO STOP" warning. This freeway has 65 MPH facing a traffic signal.

In western PA (west of Breezewood), there are a TON of "end freeway" signs. One is on the US 119 freeway section a couple miles north of Indiana. There is one on US 22 westbound about 1/2 a mile from Ebensburg. I saw only two of them, but there's probably many more. (These were from my trip to DuBois where we had to book a hotel there and then go to Punxsutawney.)
There is actually a freeway ends sign on I-265 in Louisville near at the site of the East End crossing project with its tunnel. I cannot GSV it because the road configuration has changed since it was last GSVed. I went to the project today and there are actually lights in the tunnel now.

That sign grouping does look odd. At a glance, the exit sign makes it look like you have to pay a toll to exit, but if you stay on the mainline there is no toll. If you have already incurred your last toll before this exit, then there should be no mention of tolls (ending or not) at all unless it is just the Toll-408 shield.

Minnesota is generally very thorough on posting "FREEWAY ENDS" signs. The one oddity is that as US 169 approaches its north terminus that "FREEWAY ENDS" signs are posted even though it's only a four-lane expressway. There are also "EXPRESSWAY ENDS" signs on both ends of the MN 61 expressway, which I don't know of anywhere else in the state.

THe 91 freeway ends just west of the 110 freeway and becomes Artesia Blvd at a traffic light at Vermont Ave. If you stay on the main lanes, your freeway will end. Of course, you could transition to the 110 and avoid leaving the freeway system. But for those not exiting, the warning is appropriate.

A very strange expressway ends sign in Belpre, Ohio. It is strange because it is before the left-exit to OH 7 which is a at-grade expressway if you stay on OH 7 while if you go straight THEN the expressway ends. Also I don't ever recall Ohio posting expressway ends signs on their AT-grade expressways.
Pretty sure the end to the old OH 32/US 50 Corridor D alignment, before the new Blennerhassett Bridge was built, had them as well.
I could not find any on Street View for I-184 in Boise. The imagery is 2.5 years old, and I can't remember if they've added any signage since (It seems to me like they might have changed some things compared to what I saw on GSV, but I don't remember what; maybe advance warnings for the Speed Limit drops to 45 and 35).
US-30 in Portland, OR:
Advance Warning: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.536517,-122.695026,3a,75y,282.84h,86.84t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1skm4ULmqMfwaugZ6-lnERDQ!2e0
At the actual end: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.540101,-122.698359,3a,75y,21.93h,81.8t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sQBba24YPRGNPQeCKA2ZiZQ!2e0
I-105 in Eugene, OR: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.058721,-123.101182,3a,75y,173.45h,82.24t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sF96WQh-RWk1J8GMpOpI-3w!2e0
OR-126 in Springfield, OR: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.056797,-122.942309,3a,39.8y,113.31h,82.85t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sFzxzFYuck05IWff78TrBXA!2e0
This one's interesting because this point right here is the end of the freeway (the first signalized intersection since the western terminus of I-105), but the expressway portion continues another mile to Main St., which is what these signs are referring to. There are no "end freeway" signs prior to this point, just advance warnings for the traffic signal. There's another set of these same style signs 1/4 mi before the end.
Beltline Highway (OR-569) in Eugene, OR: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.08405,-123.048164,3a,75y,90.61h,80.48t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sPydcT8ewlXfTOYDW_TcIiw!2e0
This uses the same "Expressway" wording that OR-126 uses, except that I consider all of Beltline up to this point (at least all the way since Roosevelt Blvd) to be a true freeway. I guess ODOT uses the two terms somewhat interchangeably.
I did not find any on OR-22 in Salem, either eastbound crossing the Willamette or westbound approaching I-5.
Here's the first California example that comes to mind, US-101 in Crescent City: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.778596,-124.18168,3a,75y,223.85h,80.42t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1szAnPYeKSptOoDLthcKDs-g!2e0!5s20110101T000000
This is a very short segment of freeway, which always stood out to me as a bit odd, and kinda refreshing (the 65 Speed Limit helps with that) after there being no freeway segments on US-101 in Oregon (unless the section from Coos Bay to OR-42 counts; it's the closest it gets EDIT: I suppose the bypass of Cannon Beach is close too with the interchanges, but is only 2 lanes).
Here's the north end of that segment. I like the different wording here, because it conveys that you can still freely travel at high speeds (unlike the city streets that most of the examples here put you in), but that it's no longer a freeway: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.802361,-124.148858,3a,71.7y,17.69h,83.66t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sKBLlvXwMkXjHH7l-4Cd9ww!2e0
These signs are also quite common in California. I seem to recal a large number of them just on US-101 (though it's been a while): https://www.google.com/maps/@41.804454,-124.147958,3a,58.4y,45.45h,83.23t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sehdy1BSac9RHjU6B7o135g!2e0
Illinois uses a variety of means.
They use "Expressway Ends".
https://goo.gl/maps/aUvGq
https://goo.gl/maps/IhhVR
https://goo.gl/maps/mwqen
They use "Freeway Ends".
https://goo.gl/maps/DydpU
https://goo.gl/maps/y1ReQ
Or just simply, "Traffic Signal".
https://goo.gl/maps/kfTU4
https://goo.gl/maps/0xEs5
https://goo.gl/maps/XI8KV
https://goo.gl/maps/JS8vN
Then again, sometimes there's no signage at all.
Or just a simple shield sign saying "End"

Which is exactly where these were, once I looked at the link. They were never removed when the US 50 bridge was built, even though most through traffic probably takes US 50 instead of staying on OH 7.
