List of highway strips in North Korea

North Korea has built dozens of reserve airstrips along highways and ordinary roads. These airfields are little more than widened sections of pavement that appear to be for emergency or backup use only and may not normally support operations. They are listed as "Highway" or "Highway Strip". ^{[1] [2]}
