The streets of Pyongyang, North Korea, are a scene of rare cars with headlights on during the day and beautiful traffic police standing guard

As a Northeast Asian country, North Korea is considered very mysterious by many people. When visiting North Korea, they are not even allowed to take photos. Mobile phones are not allowed, and now tourism is booming, with many people crossing the border into Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, for sightseeing and sightseeing. From the information on the Internet and the information we usually contact, North Korea and some developing countries in the 1970s and 1980s are similar, and some tourists into North Korea, will find that North Korea and some developing countries in the 1970s and 1980s also have many different places, there are a lot of people feel strange and inexplicable places.

1. Public transportation

In fact, many countries used trams as the most important form of public transport in cities in the early days, but trams in many countries have been phased out, and it was not until these two years that a relatively environmentally friendly tram began to emerge. But North Korea still has its old trams. In North Korea, fuel resources are scarce due to the small proportion of fuel in the country, and trams can prevent fuel waste. Although the disadvantage of trams is that they will seize the resources of public transport on the road, but also cause certain troubles to pedestrians and vehicles. But trams are still a very good solution to this important resource.

2. Less traffic

This is due to the fact that North Korea’s economy is not very developed, because for the time being, North Korea’s economic situation is still in the 1970s and 1980s of developing countries. In the 1970s and 1980s, we could also see that there were not many cars on our streets, and those who owned them were mostly wealthy people, and cars were rarely on the roads. Cars are not necessary supplies for many people, but a means of transportation. In the era when the economy is not so developed, a means of transportation is very luxurious for many people. So in North Korea we see people habitually taking public transport rather than driving. Public transport in North Korea does not have traffic lights, which can sometimes be unsafe. So taking public transport is also a very good choice for mass travel.

3. Daytime lights

There is another very strange sight on the roads of North Korea. In our country back in the 70s and 80s, cars on the road were supposedly very economical with gas and electricity, because gas and electricity were more expensive then. The level of consumption is not very high, so many people save their headlights and don’t turn them on until night, but in North Korea many people turn on their headlights during the day.

I didn’t know until I knew. Although there is a lack of gasoline in North Korea, turning on the headlights is also a waste of gasoline, but for the safety of pedestrians, many cars will choose to turn on the headlights in broad daylight, because in the process of vehicle driving, the car lights will be constantly flashing with the body of the bumps, flashing to the eyes of pedestrians, will remind pedestrians to pay attention to whether there is a vehicle in front of them when crossing the road. Since the traffic lights and public transport rules in North Korea are not so developed, the safety of pedestrians and vehicles can be well guaranteed under such circumstances. Although oil and electricity are wasted, it can still be seen that North Korea’s traffic cares for pedestrians.

4. Beautiful traffic cop

In our country, traffic police is a hard job, and some girls are reluctant to be traffic police. However, in the intersection of the road in Pyongyang, tourists will see a lot of beautiful traffic police directing traffic, they generally wear blue skirts, with a wide blue hat, straight chest, Stood at the intersection and methodically directed the traffic. Now Pyongyang traffic is not so developed, there are not so many cars on the road, and the meaning of the appearance of the beautiful traffic police at the intersection is actually to have a good image of the city and the country at the busy intersection. After some understanding, it is not a very easy thing to be a female traffic police in North Korea, because female traffic police not only need to choose a high degree, good family background, but also have beautiful appearance and good figure, to be a female traffic police in Pyongyang.

The epidemic has been relaxed, and we can freely choose to travel abroad, and the policy of traveling abroad has become more and more relaxed. Although Pyongyang is a place with less developed economy, it is a very distinctive place. North Korea is also a very worthwhile country to visit, and it is close to our country, so when we go out to travel, North Korea is also an alternative plan.
