Unproven rest areas
[edit]Due to the term "teahouse" sometimes being synonymous with a roadside rest area, there are a few other places that have teahouses that are possibly also rest stops.[7] In most other cases, teahouses are not necessarily rest areas.

Other roadside facilities
[edit]- The Arch of Reunification south of Pyongyang resembled a highway rest area.
- Some locations are simply roadside turnouts: unmanned, generally dirt clearings along the side of a road for maneuvering and safety purposes.
- A few kilometers outside Pyongyang, when entering the city there is a highway checkpoint on the Pyongyang–Kaesong Motorway,[9] the Pyongyang–Wonsan Tourist Motorway, the Pyongyang–Huichon Motorway,[10] and the Youth Hero Motorway.[11][12] There are likely other examples.
- There is also a checkpoint across the river from Kumchon along the Pyongyang–Kaesong Motorway on the way to the DMZ.[13]
- There is a checkpoint between the Kaesong Industrial Complex and South Korea, both on the north korean and south korean sides.
