Wisconsin almost never used BGS' at freeway entrances, but in the last 5 years they have started to use them.  The interchanges with roundabouts have overhead BGS like this:

but the traditional intersections are starting to have BGS that look like this:

MaineDOT mostly likes using this style of LGS, although there are some exceptions.
Except for the extruded panel, that format is similar to the Massachusetts 'paddle sign" LGSes

In the Sacramento area, overhead signs at freeway entrances are quite common.  Most new and/or reconstructed interchanges have them but there are some older interchanges that have them too (and some of them are button copy).

Howe Ave @ US 50
Bradshaw Rd @ US 50
Greenback Ln @ I-80
Arena Blvd @ I-5
47th Ave @ CA-99

There are also a few scattered about the San Francisco Bay Area.

Dixon Landing Rd @ I-880
Shoreline Blvd @ US 101

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.
