This one is on northbound Yale Avenue.  It is one of the few signs in Oklahoma to read "Oklahoma City" instead of "Okla City".

A few others I can think of: there's one on the westbound Turner Turnpike just west of where the Creek Turnpike merges in (with line break before "City"), and there's one in Norman on northbound I-35 at the Robinson Street exit (with downward-facing straight-shaft arrows instead of true down arrows).

And, one of the few I've seen that uses mixed case for the 'West' part instead of all-caps.

Spelling it out is common for TxDOT, KTA, and AHTD–it's ODOT and OTA that normally abbreviate it.
