In [[Switzerland]] yellow stripes are used for pedestrian crossings. Unlike a yellow [[tiger crossing]] in the UK, however, cyclists are required to dismount to cross.

In [[Portugal]] white stripes are used for regular, permanent crossings, while yellow stripes are used for temporary crossings, which are placed in construction sites where the original crossing has been obstructed. Newer roads are being equipped with red-and-white zebra crossings, to increase pedestrian safety and visibility.

In [[Lebanon]], striped crossings are the preferred pedestrian crossing type, though many other variations exist. Zebra crossings are painted mostly at signalised [[intersection (road)|intersections]] and [[roundabouts]]. They are also widely used in school areas and [[stop sign]] regulated intersections. They provide priority and right of way to pedestrians under all circumstances.
