Is this part of the older Dallas bike route network?

Is the bottom sign in the top two photos a new(ish) MUTCD standard?  Aside from the "#15", it looks identical to what you'd find in Seattle, but I hadn't seen them anywhere else.

Mesa, Arizona has a similar shield for its city bicycle routes.

Did my eyes deceive me, or is that a Clearview speed limit sign? The left numeral is more bold than the right though.

^^ I was thinking it was Helvetica.

Plano uses an odd, non-standard font for a lot of it's signs, including stop signs.

The trails are numbered: https://www.plano.gov/DocumentCenter/View/364

I'd like to see more regional bike trail systems get numbered. Or statewide ones to supplement the USBR system.

Apparently some odd numbers match at the border (e.g. 37), but even numbers don't follow the same grid (Plano would start around 400).

I've noticed that while around town, the city positioned the path of bike route 75 near US 75.

I'm not talking about the shield, I'm talking about the mileage sign in the top two photos.
