I mentioned it in the Road-related Illustrations thread, and thought of it again today when Ocean City was brought up there - how many roads that cross state lines have signage for the opposite end of the road from one terminus?
California does this for US 6, I-40, and US 50:

I know for sure that I-80 and US 101 do not have this, and don't think that I-5 or I-10 do either.
5 and 10 do not, though 10 does have the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway sign near its western terminus, acknowledging it as a coast-to-coast route.
US-6 has, at the Provincetown end, a very unofficial sign for Long Beach.
There has been a sign in Copper Harbor, MI, which gave the distance of 1990 to Miami, FL. Unfortunately, I have no idea whether the reverse is true in Miami.
speaking of Florida, there's a sign in Fort Kent, ME for US-1.
There's one on the NC end of I-40 as well.

Maryland has them on US 50 in Ocean City as noted, as well as I-70 just west of the Baltimore Beltway.
It's a lousy picture, but here's my shot of the US 50 sign in Ocean City.

Funny thing is, there's one minor error with the sign: US 50's terminus is not the city of Sacramento (not since 1982), but West Sacramento on the other side of the river (and in the county of Yolo)! I don't think that's too significant of a difference though for the casual observer.

Tangent: is this because I-80 originally followed today's BL-80 through town, and US 50 ended at today's exit 6? And then the current I-80 was opened in 1982, so US 50 was extended to the west, along the old I-80?

Somewhat correct - US 50's terminus from about 1972 to 1982 was at Route 99 and I-80 (where today's Business 80, then I-80, takes ramps from the WX Freeway to the 29/30 Freeway) at the Oak Park interchange.
When 50 was extended to West Sacramento, the eastbound direction between today's exits 1 and 6 received US 50 signage - but not the westbound direction! West of 65th Street, the route is signed as follows:
"TO I-80 West" (at Stockton Boulevard)
"Route 99 NORTH TO I-80/I-5" (at Route 99 south and 26th Street)
"I-80 West" (at I-5 west, signage installed in late 2009)
"Business 80 West" (from 16th Street west to terminus)
Now, current I-80 had existed from about 1968 to 1982 as I-880, but when the planned realignment for then-I-80 in North Sacramento (along the rail right of way) to bring that up to Interstate standards was shelved in lieu of funding local light rail, the move of I-80 to then-I-880 was enacted, with the freeway that had been built as US 99E becoming Business 80/hidden Route 51, and the freeway that was built as either I-80 or US 40/99W becoming US 50 and Businsess 80 and hidden I-305 (in addition to the already-existing segment that was Route 99).
Last I heard (and seen), I-70 has one of these leaving Baltimore heading west.
there should be one heading east from Cove Fort, UT as well. "Park and ride facility: 2600 miles"

...and likewise, there have been several counterparts on US 1 in Key West (although I don't think there's anything there currently):

There's a local sign job at the east end of US 80 in Georgia, referencing the historic San Diego western terminus:

I'm just wondering, is there one for I-10 in Jacksonville, FL to Santa Monica (or essentially Los Angeles), CA, for that matter?

There is not one.
