Drive-through Route 66 signs have become beloved photo ops along the Mother Road, drawing road trippers to popular spots in Grants, New Mexico, and Kingman, Arizona. And now, there’s a new must-see addition to your Route 66 bucket list! Find the new Drive-Through Route 66 Sign in Galena, Kansas right across from another favorite stop: Luigi’s Pit Stop, where you can pose with characters from Pixar’s Cars.

This Galena attraction stands 16 feet tall and features a 10-by-10-foot cutout in the center, perfect for cars, motorcycles, and small trucks to pass through for a one-of-a-kind souvenir snapshot. The interactive sign was brought to life by artists Sandra Dawn and David Mason. One side features a vibrant sunflower field—paying tribute to Kansas’s nickname, “The Sunflower State”—while a tow truck resembling the real-life inspiration for Tow Mater drives off in the background (don’t miss the original down the block at Cars on the Route!). The reverse side is a clean white canvas with a bold black outline reading “Kansas US,” designed to host future projected images.

Whether you’re cruising east or west, make time to stop, snap some selfies, and drive right through this larger-than-life tribute to America’s most iconic highway
