Flashing stop signs

[tolbs17]

I've seen flashing stop signs here in New Jersey, at some shopping centers and what not I'm guessing that it's to get more attention for people to stop.

I think two flashers are going in half a mile from my house, as they're changing a rural intersection from a two way to a four way stop.

I haven't been there in many years, but for a long time there was a stop sign with two flashing red lights on top of it in McKenney, Virginia, on VA-40 at its intersection with US-1. There were no traffic lights in the area and this was the only significant intersection. A college friend lived down the street from that intersection, which is why I remember it, but I haven't seen nor spoken to her in years, and the Google Maps app doesn't seem to have Street View there.

Here's one along what used to be US 160 in Willard MO. I find myself getting stopped by this sign quite frequently because it's a near a popular pizza place.

While I'm talking about it, here's the pizza.

I only know of one flashing stop sign near me (looks the same as all the other ones posted here) but I've also seen a flashing "do not enter" sign in a mall parking lot (not on Streetview) and a flashing crosswalk sign in Bellevue, WA: https://www.google.ca/maps/@47.6173599,-122.2043739,3a,18.9y,189.1h,113.78t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sKgP_42cUIl1zaq-4DxiEoA!2e0!5s20181001T000000!7i16384!8i8192. I can't remember if it flashes all the time or of it only flashes when there are pedestrians crossing. I don't know why it needs to exist because it's at a normal signalized intersection, but it's still pretty cool.
