Crossing the road without traffic lights may or may not be legal, depending on the local law.
A zebra crossing does not count as a traffic light, but is a good place to cross the road.
Where traffic lights or zebra crossings are readily available (e.g. within a 100m walking distance) it is advisable to use these designated crossings.
On small roads without such designations, it is advised that you cross where vehicles will be able to see you and give way to you safely.
In all cases when crossing a road, it is best to check the traffic condition before proceeding.

Pedestrian actions are governed by traffic lights also. You may not cross a lane of traffic which has the green light to proceed.

If you are referring to a strictly 'pedestrian-control' signal (i.e.: walk-don't walk signal), the answer is definitely no.
