Please look at the examples in Indonesia. They are not sculptures or artwork. And they are erected by the very local government at the neighborhood level. The large sculptural signs in San Diego are rather artistic, but they are put up by the government or with government approval at least, because they span the street.
Another consideration is that these are overhead “barriers” for tall vehicles. A full-size truck / lorry can fit under the American ones, but not under the gateway signs in Indonesia, so these are significant for routing.
