The ramps to and from the northbound Pyongyang-Kaesong expressway are to the south.
It looks like a little kid designed it.
I-90 in Wyoming is full of interchanges like this.

Maybe little Kim Jung Un drew on the road plans and nobody wanted to change the design for fear of being sent to a labor camp.

Since there are almost no private vehicles in North Korea, the roads are empty except for official cars, military vehicles and police. Traffic counts are probably a handful per day.
Google street view is apparently not available at that location,for some reason. ;)

Talk about roads to nowhere.
Heck, I didn't even know that North Korea had freeways. South Korea on the other hand, has a ton of them.

Coincidentally, that is a road to a labor camp
:-o
What's interesting is that some of those pictures show faded lane markings. It's as if they had them and then the government said "meh, whatever, it's not like anyone drives on those roads but us".
That's a longass northbound accel ramp... almost like the ramp and northern highway was designed for a speed test/escape of some sorts.
