Out of all the countries in the world, I would never have guessed Germany will do that. Because it violates some DIN norm and 14 rules of some Versordnung for Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr.
Here I am not allowed to have additional off road lights on my car closer than 600mm together. But a crosswalk light can be a dancing bear with a Brezel.
I like the bear. But I don’t see why things much less interesting are strictly forbidden.

In Bad Dürkheim (Rheinland-Pfalz) they have a “Winzer-Ampelmännchen” because of the traditional wine culture there – [https://www.bad-duerkheim.de/rathaus-buergerservice/aktuelles/pressemeldungen/2022/ampel-mit-traditionscharakter-bad-duerkheim-installiert-winzerampelmaennchen/winzerampelmaennchen-bgm-07092022-quer.jpg?cid=1h6y.4tmp&resize=d2d5e9%3A0%2C410%2C3024%2C1440_1200x630c](https://www.bad-duerkheim.de/rathaus-buergerservice/aktuelles/pressemeldungen/2022/ampel-mit-traditionscharakter-bad-duerkheim-installiert-winzerampelmaennchen/winzerampelmaennchen-bgm-07092022-quer.jpg?cid=1h6y.4tmp&resize=d2d5e9%3A0%2C410%2C3024%2C1440_1200x630c)
And in Kaiserslautern (also in Rheinland-Pfalz) there is a “Betzi-Aampelmännchen” because of the local football team FC Kaiserslautern – [https://www.der-betze-brennt.de/images/news/2024-10-14-betzi-ampel-maennchen–fck.jpg](https://www.der-betze-brennt.de/images/news/2024-10-14-betzi-ampel-maennchen–fck.jpg)
