if US 23 North as it passes from the Buckeye State into the Wolverine
State near Temperance. The welcome signs for Michigan and Ohio,
respectively, are each mounted on a pole located in the median of US
23. The Michigan welcome sign is a newer style that was erected
at entry points into the state in 2009, as a part of
the state's popular "Pure
Michigan" tourism campaign.
