Someone already mentioned Poland. Also, this is pretty much the standard 
situation for traffic lights in Sweden; they always come with zebra stripes. If 
the lights are active, they take precedence over the signs and markings; if the 
lights are off or showing flashing amber, the situation reverts to whatever the 
signs and markings say. (And if there is a police officer directing traffic, 
their instructions override whatever the traffic light says.)

Also, France. For example, this crossing in the 14:th arrondissement of Paris:

So it’s not just the Poles who are being funny. :)
