I-95 Northern Virginia as well as I-80 in Youngstown, Ohio list New York City as its destination. I-80 actually ends at I-95 west of the George Washington Bridge
Yeah, I believe it is at the point where it is exactly 400 miles to NYC on I-80 not far from the I-76 interchange. Think it is by far the longest I have seen. Almost all of my driving has been east of the Mississippi though with the exception of a one week visit to Los Angeles; most of the longest ones I can think of are still < 150 miles from the destination cities.
There's also one in Barstow, CA and Wilmington, NC along I-40 for 2,551 miles.
However, there are only one of these signs to emphasize the length of the highway in total, but not typical destination/control city signs, which is what I think is addressing.
I was a little surprised when I moved to Chicago that a lot of the signs just have arrows and say things like "Iowa", "Northwest Suburbs", "Western Suburbs", "Wisconsin", "Indiana".
In Savannah you see signs for I-95 pointing to Florence even though it is over 170 miles away.
Another one are the signs for the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel. I know there's signs for that on I-95 in DE, and there's also signs down by Emporia in VA.

I was always use to having cities on the signs.
At least those are more specific than the "Other Desert Cities" sign along I-10 eastbound at CA-111 (near Palm Springs, CA)
Blythe or even Phoenix don't even warrant a mention
You think that's a slap in the face to Phoenix? Take I-95 north out of Washington DC, and the control city is Baltimore. Take I-95 north out of Baltimore, and the control city is New York. Uh, what about Philadelphia?

Well, if you're taking the turnpikes you don't even pass through Pennsylvania unless one sticks slavishly to the interrupted I-95.
