in Italy it is also common to have zebra markings at traffic light controlled crossings. The markings indicate the space which pedestrians can use.
Generally, zebra markings often require also vertical signs in order to be legally zebra crossings (e.g. in Germany always and in Italy if it is not in proximity of a junction).

Using a different kind of markings could eventually make a difference in case the traffic lights are turned off.
