Picture taken by a Red Cross delegation as they drove down the same highway for about 100 km. No machines, only people with shovels.

Underfed workers put to backbreaking manual labor (shoveling snow is really strenuous, as anyone who has lived in places that get a lot of snow knows) to help the 1% of North Koreans who even own cars. The government could afford a couple decent snowplows but obviously figure this way lets their citizens feel like they're contributing to the juche. Fucking murderous assholes.

Cleared for all 5 cars that use it.
