  • Snapping their heads from side to side, marching into the roads in close-fitting blue uniforms and black heels, the "traffic ladies" who marshal vehicles at the intersections of Pyongyang are an emblematic image of the North Korean capital.

    There's really no reason to have a traffic police officer stationed at an intersection with traffic lights, but I suspect they're there for the frequent times when the electricity is off.

      IKR.
      Every single citizens will say that.
      In the US, depending on who you ask, they address the president as their “Moron Leader”.

    I can't tell if she's saying all that about her "caring" leader because she has to or because she legitimately means it and that's the worst part of all this.

    So they're over-the-hill at "the ripe old age of 26." I don't know at what age they start their traffic jobs, but several years of that, or even several months, would wear me out.

    Also iconic is there hand movements from left to right as they walk. that is the same movements that the military makes when they are walking and not holding a gun. Left right left right side to side back and forth. Seems funny to see the traffic ladies doing the same action.

    If you have traffic lights.....and they are working , then you don't need traffic police! I don't get it??! I don't understand why they have traffic police in addition to working traffic lights. It's all just complete propaganda to intimidate motorists. That's it basically.
    There's no other reason why they would need them. Ok, to have them for a few hours from time to time, or when the lights are not working or being fixed - but all day every day? ...even on a Sunday?? ...No, there's no point. It's overkill and just propaganda.
