NLEX (North Luzon Expwy), SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expwy), TPLEX (Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expwy) provide a mostly-continuous route between Manila and, in the future, Baguio City. Someone made a video driving through the SCTEX and NLEX and the completed section of TPLEX.
At 15:21 is the infamous Tarlac City sign from the Arialveticverstesk thread.
Also note the speed limit signs. On TPLEX, which is the first ~16 minutes or so of the video, the speed limit signs are all Vienna Convention style. Past the second toll gate (and the sign that says "SCTEX ↑"), the speed limit signs become MUTCD style. So I finally satisfied this. :)

So what's the possibility of me running into a MUTCD SPEED LIMIT sign, and then running into the EU one? Bonus points if they are right after one another.

That's not the only change in signage, I noticed that ALL of the signs jump from the Vienna Convention style to the MUTCD after that toll plaza! (And half of them use Arialveticverstesk too :ded:)

They
were built by different companies. I'm not surprised. :pan:

I confirmed with the TPLEX guy (with whom I had an argument about the Tarlac City sign) that they
did, in fact, use Arial on all of their signs. Except, perhaps, the speed limit ones, which seem to use a light-stroked FHWA series.

The contractor is using an arial font which, based on the matrix of dimensions of the Modified Series E, seems to be a very close match.

Uh, what? Is that guy high or something? One font was
made for road signs, the other was made for every other purpose
but that!
