There are no traffic lights in North Korea, they are replaced by traffic controllers on the roads.
The claim is partially supported by evidence indicating that traffic controllers, known as 'Traffic Girls', manage traffic in Pyongyang.

Some sections of North Korean infrastructure lack comprehensive documentation, which affects the certainty of this claim. Wikipedia and specialized travel guides mention alternative traffic management but do not categorically state the absence of traffic lights nationwide.
