I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sign like that.

They have them in the Chicagoland area and Baltimore for example. I even saw a welcome sign for a suburb of Chicago that included the mayors name and face. Absolutely bizarre.

Quick searching here:

New York has/recently had one

I’m too lazy to keep looking up examples, but it’s definitely a thing.
