The Mobile Pyongyang Traffic Policewoman

That's a nice looking motorcycle.
PTG1

yes it is. And probably a rarity in NK. But are you sure that's hers? Well, the color scheme does match. We need to get a pic of one of the TGs on their sleek new bikes.....

Could be hers - it has a Police light on the front but wouldn't she wear a helmet if on motorcycle patrol?

I figured that bike was probably made in China - I found it here

It's a Wonjan. Same bike, with a few cosmetic differences and accessories.
You just know NK wasn't making a cool ride like this themselves.

What's to keep her hat from blowing off? I like the loudspeaker - "This is trafficgirl, pull over now!"

No more like "TRAFFICE PATROLWOMAN - STOP NOW!!!!" PTG2

Nice find on that chinese motorcycle pic.

In the OP picture, look at the size of that whistle in her hand!

Is that also a walkie-talkie radio she's got on her belt???

Looks like a walkie-talkie.

I guess cell phone technology is about 20 years away.

Forget cell phones - look at the size of that radio! The radio looks ancient by today's Western technology - the Great Leader really needs update things!

But please keep the PTGs as they are! PTG1

It actually is about the same size as mobile radios used by police in the US. On some there is a remote mic that clips to the shoulder flap, and some also use an earpiece.

They're smaller than that lately

There's that motorcycle in this picture too - click for larger.

It looks like she just pulled over at the curb and walked out to direct traffic.
No helmet in sight.

Yes, not every walkie talkie is big, but some still are, I noticed on Cops last weekend them using the large one.
Perspective counts too, a radio may look bigger on a 110 pound PTG compared to a 250 pound cop.

I wonder what they could actually be saying on those radios given the fact that there is very little traffic.

"Traffic controller Kim, this is traffic controller Park....there is a car coming your way. Prepare to signal directions."

911 ... I need a traffic girl
