not most of the time. So I can't really assume that.

=v= I'm not sure which cities you mean. There are laws which
apply, but signs that are posted at bike paths are rare, and
are often incomplete or inaccurate about those laws. Certainly
no bike lanes have any sort of signage, either.
=v= I know that California designs most of its bicycle
facilities to accommodate a maximum speed of 20mph, yet the
latest e-gadget lobbying push that was directed at the state
legislature, the state bike advocacy organization, and a bunch
of local bike advocacy organizations were for the purpose of
having a 25mph device legally defined as a bicycle.
