I do not think that there is other shield assembly that uses fonts like these in anyplace I have  ever seen. 

Does anyone else have photos or a GSV link to show a one of a kind signing practice that is as bizarre as this one?

Before clicking on the link I sort of knew that was the signs that you were referring to. ;)

That is the font that the City of Cullman (and Cullman County) uses on most of its signs (including speed limit signs), so that is not an ALDOT installation by any means.

Whatever, in my travels this was only one of this kind.  Obviously, if what you say is correct than the City and County of Cullman are one of its kind, or at least for their shields.

Here is another one where they goofed up and used an Alabama shield instead of a US shield. Apologies for the blurriness.

I'm fairly certain that font is Franklin Gothic. It somehow turned up on an exit sign on the Creek Turnpike in Tulsa as well.

It does look like Franklin Gothic. We used that font for headlines for several years at the newspaper I edited.
