  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.

      Nice, they’ve solved the climate crisis. It truly is the greatest country.

  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.

    Which was also the real reason Hitler built the Autobahn (or rather, continued and expanded the plans that already existed).

    Maybe they are a cargo cult? Build big streets and the wealth will come!

  LOL, if one can afford a car in NK, it must be a dream to drive it. Roads as wide as in California with zero 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?

      This is Mario Kart IRL

    I don’t think these roads stretch very far.

    The US bombed all of so now only 20% of their land is arable

      Nice try, tankie, but 20% is higher than the US. The world average is 10%.

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

  That’s a city.
