It appears in street view, at least.

Any height warning? Some tall trucks will hit it!

Didn't see one. To my eye at the moment, the sign seemed to be at the "normal" height. I passed underneath with no problem, but I was in a Honda Civic. . . .

Maybe it's just me being a homer, but I really like California's.  Simple, but enough to stand out from other guide signs.

This is the welcome sign greeting passengers on SB 5.  I swear there used to be a Siskiyou County Line sign attached to this, but don't recall when it was removed.

I do a lot of work down in Kings Bay, GA so I normally fly into Jacksonville, FL. I've always liked the Georgia welcome sign on I-95 as it's one of the few/if only examples I know of that uses lyrics from a song.



Although I think they need to find something new to tout about ... the Atlanta games were almost 20 years ago.

Not to be posting too much on this thread, but it just happens to be a coincidence that Illinois stopped putting the governor's names after Blago right? Illinois' older signs were better IMO, it highlighted the different parts of the state.

It's easy for people travelling on the Throughway from the mid-west to tell they're entering Western N.Y  The very first sign you see isn't a welcome sign, but the world famous 'TOLL BOOTH 1 MILE".   No need for any lovey-dovey, feel good stuff; just pay the meter maid and keep moving.

Thought there used to be a "Welcome to the Thomas E. Dewey Thruway" sign in the median

I haven't seen a governor's name on welcome signs/highway signs since they took Blago's name off the I-PASS gantries for the open-road tollbooths before his trial.

According to Google, there still is, but it's definitely not the first sign.
