Here is a photo of one such sign from my collection.

No prob, CASIGNS. I love your website. Great freeway sign you have, too.
California freeway entrances are always so well-marked compared with other states. The modern green "FREEWAY ENTRANCE" signs, do you know if maybe those evolved from signs that the Auto Club might've made?
Here's another photo. The 101 headed towards downtown near Alameda Street, 1961.
