1Hi, every so often I go through posts which have "How do you call....?" or "How are ______ called?" in their questions or titles. See the discussion in this post: “How do we call (something) in English?” Would you mind editing your title to “What* would you call a stele...?”* Thanks! – Mari-Lou A May 04 '16 at 22:33

This is a Welcome (city) sign, as stated in Wikipedia Wiki:
- A welcome sign (or gateway sign) is a road sign at the border of a region that introduces or welcomes visitors to the region.1 Examples of welcome signs can be found near political borders, such as when entering a state, province, county, city, or town, and they are increasingly found in neighborhoods and private communities.
The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign:
- is a Las Vegas landmark funded in May 1959 and erected soon after by Western Neon. The sign was designed by Betty Willis at the request of Ted Rogich, a local salesman, who sold it to Clark County, Nevada.

These are generically called Monument signs
Here's a Google image search for "monument signs"
And I would refer to a Monument sign at the border of a city to be a city monument sign
