Segregated water fountains, washrooms, etc, were legal in the US until 1964, and continued to be a thing for probably around a decade after that as people dragged their heels about actually complying with the new law.
I don’t believe there are still signs like this today, at least not in public areas (because, as you pointed out in other comments, that would be illegal under the Civil Rights Act). Every now and then there are stories about non-white people being asked to leave an establishment, but those have, thankfully, become pretty rare.

I just read about “Racial segregation in the United States” on Wikipedia. Does signs like these still remain in places today?

White supremacists and their police found other ways to keep places segregated.
I would assume probably not, but I don’t live in the US so I couldn’t tell you for sure.
