    They don’t want anyone to go anywhere without being extra nice. It’s not car centered city, it’s a huge prison.

    Those roads are probably for police and military so they can arrive quickly in case of invasion or citizens becoming uppity.

      Sure, but that thing is 4 lanes in either direction. That’s a lot of asphalt for a whole bunch of nothing.

    I don’t think it’s illegal. The amount of citizen with access to enough wealth to own a car is just relatively low

      Private car ownership is highly restricted. You only have access to a car if you are a party member, are conducting business for the party, or are well connected.

      Their society is very localized and travel is restricted(you need a permit to leave your county), trains and bicycles are how you move about if you aren’t walking.

          If every nation could only be a failed state with a 60% poverty level and be propped up by multiple superpowers, we could totally kick the can at least another generation.

    LOL, if one can afford a car in NK, it must be a dream to drive it. Roads as wide as in California with none of the traffic.

      No one driving on it and it’s still full of potholes and poorly patched.

        An empty road full of potholes and the only other people driving are people I probably know by name?

      I don’t think these roads stretch very far.

          Hate hearing about your countries war crimes so much that you have to find a way to dismiss them? There is a reason they hate America.
