Southwards from Pyongyang towards the South Korean border is a twelve (!) lane, six on each side, motorway. Nothing strange with a big highway out from a city with 3 million people? Well, not in the normal world. The only thing is that there are almost no cars in North Korea. We met perhaps 10-20 cars many of them military vehicles, on a 2.5 hours trip from Kosang near the border to the capital. Exceptional. I saw people walking in the middle of the motorway. Is it irrational to build a motorway like this when there are no cars in the country? Well, not if you need room for tanks and a landing/starting place for military aircrafts… But that is just a qualified guess. Poor South Korea.
