The first (white) sign was a bit odd, but I do think it was intended to be a bike path. Plus, I would imagine the local businesses want to appear to be "bike friendly".
The second (green) sign was part of the riverfront MUP/Bikeway, and was intended to be so. However, they frequently wall off a section of greenway with fencing. In the case above there was a concert that had drawn a crowd outside the fence. I was towing a trailer, and ended up backing out and going a different direction.

I think there are some "dismount and walk" signs around the University of Oregon campus. I'll look for them the next time I go there, but I think they are largely ignored, so really there is no winning.
