Is there a baton shortage for the PTGs? The Traffic Girls exchange the baton at shift change. It seems each Traffic Policewoman does not have her own baton. Being this is the DPRK it is possible there is a shortage of batons and each intersection only has one to share?

LOL - I think they have the baton exchange just because it looks cool when they do it. It's my favorite part.
If they ever did run short of batons, they could just borrow one of the thousands of clubs that are used for the Arirang games and paint stripes on it.
