Here's one in Vancouver.  Appropriately, there's a spanwire of red flashing lights.  Speed limits I believe are 35.

Oklahoma often uses flags, which wear out after a few months

The flags are to tell people who drive there frequently that something has changed.

I have seen permanent orange metal "flags" on signs in Minnesota, meaning it was to draw your attention.

The second one seemed to be non-qualified from the view you provided. I had to move around to see that the intersecting road has multiple lanes controlled by stop signs, divided to boot!

I've seen that fairly often as well. In some states I've seen two orange squares turned onto one "point" (sometimes called a diamond); in others, notably Maryland, I've seen a rectangular orange blank sign above the sign to which they want to call attention–most often an advisory that the speed limit drops ahead.

From AARoads.com–note the white sign in the distance beyond the Camry in the second lane from the left:

Sorry, I should have clarified. The first link is the view from U.S. 165, the four-lane divided road, and the second view is from U.S. 84, which is only two lanes.

IIRC Virginia uses both of those. I remember when 295 went up to 70, the 65 ahead and speed limit 65 signs at the south end of the 70 zone both got the orange square treatment, and I recall seeing the orange rectangle too but can't remember where offhand.

Really, it should be yellow or red–orange just makes me think it's a construction-related condition, and I'd be apt to ignore it as a remnant of such if there were no construction around.

Missouri has some speed limit signs on I-44 with a yellow-and-black striped border, like caution tape.

Yes, they've changed out the flags

Encountered this one today:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=32.928247,-96.830473&spn=0.000005,0.003114&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=32.928327,-96.830493&panoid=SaJBPZKzWkHzqCWMrx9WGg&cbp=12,338.88,,0,0
I was in the left lane, a box truck was in the right lane. The only reason I was able to stop is that I planned on turning left at the soonest available spot to turn around. This is in a warehouse district with lots of truck traffic. And, the stop sign is around a curve. Very unsafe.

In just about every multilane stop shown so far, my first thought is that the intersection would be better served by a roundabout.

The stop sign is present on US 84, but not on 165 anymore. Since the completion of 4 laning it doesn't stop anymore in Tullos at 84
