In some countries, instead of "don't walk", a depiction of a red man or hand indicating when not to cross, the drawing of the person crossing appears with an "X" drawn over it.

Some countries around the Baltic Sea in Scandinavia duplicate the red light. Instead of one red light, there are two which both illuminate at the same time.

In many parts of eastern Germany, particularly the former [[German Democratic Republic]], the design of the crossing man ([[Ampelmännchen]]) has a hat. There are also female ''Ampelmännchen'' in western Germany and the Netherlands.<ref name=":1" /> Other countries also use unusual "walk" and "don't walk" pedestrian indicators. In southwest [[Yokohama]], [[Kanagawa Prefecture]], there are pedestrian signal lights that resemble [[Astro Boy (character)|Astro Boy]].<ref name="Metcalfe 2014">{{cite news |last=Metcalfe |first=John |title=Japan Now Has a Traffic Signal Shaped Like Astro Boy |newspaper=Bloomberg |date=19 November 2014 |url=http://www.citylab.com/design/2014/11/japan-now-has-a-traffic-signal-shaped-like-astro-boy/382925/ |access-date=10 March 2017}}</ref> In [[Lisbon]], some signals have a "don't walk" indicator that dances; these "dancing man" signals, created by [[Daimler AG]], were created to encourage pedestrians to wait for the "walk" indicator, with the result that 81% more pedestrians stopped and waited for the "walk" light compared to at crosswalks with conventional signals.<ref>{{cite web |last=Liszewski |first=Andrew |title=Waiting for 'Don't Walk' Signs Is More Fun When the Stick Figure Dances |website=Gizmodo |date=16 September 2014 |url=https://gizmodo.com/waiting-for-dont-walk-signs-is-more-fun-when-the-stick-1635478139 |access-date=10 March 2017}}</ref>
