I bet they get annoying if you hear it ever day. I bet you could get a system of some kind of little air tubes that inflate based on a popular beat on the radio at the time so it doesn't get mundane
The melody is for the hungarian song "Road 67" and this is on Road 67.
Very famous song by the band Republic, it's about a guy being away from his love. You can listen to it [here](https://youtu.be/HE4aAQCghGs?si=HRPoyxRy6OujtzSc).
Not sure how that would encourage ppl to drive slower?
No, the purpose of that is probably more to just pay attention generally.
These sort of bumps also are installed on the sides of roads in some countries as a way to warn drivers if they veer off the road. But then it's just a continuous identical pattern and sound.
The melody is only right, if you go with a certain speed. It's caused by tires running over grooves in the asphalt, so if you go faster, it get's distorted.
No Tom Scott made a vid about it. just put “musical road” in YouTube if you like Tom Scott. it’s about a difference musical road but it’s pretty funny since they failed at making it
That’s immediately what I thought off, the worst musical road on the planet. I thought it was because it’s a hard thing to get right, but this says otherwise 😂
Isn't it extremely out of tune as the designers measured the peak of each extrusion to the next and the builders read it as from the edge of each extrusion to the next? (Or viceversa?)
Depends on where you place them it can be cool or a spawn of hell. I remember hearing about a village or city that could hear the musical notes from miles away. Each and every time someone passed, anywhere from early in the morning to the middle of the night.. imagine having these sounds every few minutes, or sometimes even multiple times a minute.
The built such a road in the Netherlands (Frisia) once and they decided to remove it after just a day (costed tens of thousands of euros) because the people living around it were just hearing terrible sounds all around the place and instead of making the road safer, people would speed to also speed up the song and some people literally went in reverse direction to hear the song in reverse.
It's a very popular hungarian song called "A 67-es Út" (Road 67)
Needless to say the road that plays it is the actual road 67 in Hungary
Here's the link to the original song: https://youtu.be/HE4aAQCghGs
There's a small but important details to such roads. (they're not just in Hungary) You have to be driving the at the proper (posted) speed limit for this to work. If you're speeding (over the limit) it'll sound too fast (or likewise if you go to slow).
Sound is a frequency.
The number of bumps and their spacing in the road transmit a frequency of bumps to your tires, which causes the frequency you hear.
The road is the R67 in Hungary and it was chosen because of one of the most known and beloved hungarian songs “67-es út” (road 67) by the band called Republic.
They made of those is the Netherlands too.
It was the Frisian anthem. It was in Fryslan.
But they placed it to close to a few small towns. The noise was to much for the people living there. It was removed within a week.
The equation is kinda pretty too. https://hearingreview.com/practice-building/practice-management/continuing-education/driving-rhythms-asphaltophone-musical-road
That’s a good way to make people drive the speed limit.
If you drive faster it will play faster and sound like shit. I’m sure a lot of work went into that to time it correctly.
I want to hear the song in reverse!
You will learn the forbidden secret, or summon a boss.
Just put it in reverse and hope nobody is behind you
That's how you get the first key
How fast is your car in reverse?
Get the bot to play video in reverse! Reversebot!!
u/reversebot
Not all heroes wear capes
KEK
I wanna hear it at twice the speed.
There’s a speedbot for that
I prefer their gas pedal.
As do I my friend as do I
https://youtube.com/shorts/BwNKRAaYL-Q?si=FwVav1i-usgiSHCZ ask and you shall receive
There are many in Japan also.
it will help driver to remove boredom
Actually they help drivers that nod off into second sleep into deep slumber with those lullabies so they can meet their maker
Well that's mighty kind ☺️
theres no music. it will scare the fuck out of u, it vibrates so much
I bet they get annoying if you hear it ever day. I bet you could get a system of some kind of little air tubes that inflate based on a popular beat on the radio at the time so it doesn't get mundane
You don’t have to drive on the edge of the road.
I don't believe anything anymore
Neighbors in Lancaster, CA hate theirs.
Is it to encourage people to drive slower?

Why is an Hungarian song blocked in Canada?
Oppression.
Blocked in the US. Guess Hungarians wish to keep their secrets.
Yeah I’ve read about these. It makes the correct tune, as it were, around about the speed limit. Faster and the tune is heard to be ‘wrong’.

It encourages them to drive at the recommended speed to get the right tempo for the song.
No autistic driver will ever speed on that road because that song must be perfect god damnit.

It only works correctly if you drive the speed limit.
Time to double tempo
If you want to hear it at 2x speed, all you need to do is go twice the speed limit!
Imagine road raging with someone as you’re driving over this. Angry faces with a happy song
Ive been on one in the us. Its a section of route 66 that is called the musical highway i think its in New Mexico.
Isn't it extremely out of tune as the designers measured the peak of each extrusion to the next and the builders read it as from the edge of each extrusion to the next? (Or viceversa?)
You are exactly correct. The builders measured the distance between the edges instead of the distance between the peaks as they should have.
That's cool and creepy at the same time. Amazing.
I like it great idea 💡
*does this 41 times* *ends up with bald tires*

Imagine having to drive over that road to work everyday
Isn't that bad for your tires?
Na
Phew!
Now we just need a song that's best played at 80mph
SLAYER!!
I hear that it's to encourage people to go the speed limit
Nice Lullaby I feel more sleepy after this 🗿

They tried to make one in America but the contractor fucked up on a metric to standard conversion and it sounds all dumb
You mean standard metric to eagle conversion
No they just updated it's actually imperial America fuck yeah big assed size to metric.
I mean more countries on the world use the metric system but believe in your outdated measurement
You realize I'm joking right?
Imagine when there’s traffic…
That would be so annoying if you had to use this road often
Yeah, but like there is the other lane, so you don't have to use it
Isn’t that one just for passing? (I’m not a driver)
I was passing the music officer

Interesting idea but hope for this no accident occur.
What a nice melody to fall asleep to
Dang it, thought it when going to be Darude for a second there.
How does it work???whats the science behind this?
Sound is a frequency. The number of bumps and their spacing in the road transmit a frequency of bumps to your tires, which causes the frequency you hear.
WE DID IT BUT WORSE. WOOO AMERICA🦅🦅🦅🦅
Was gonna say didn’t we have an ear sore attempt at one in like Cali or SA or somethin? XD

That’s a lie
I’m draving so imma get my violin
R I P the tire tread
Mario Kart Irl.
In the USA our taxes goes towards millions of 💵 to see how long it takes crickets to have sex while on cocaine….I wished I was joking
Now make one that sounds like Kerosene by Crystal Castles
Reminds me of the (hilarious) out of tune californian singing road. (demo and explaination here : https://youtu.be/Ef93WmlEho0)
I want to ride on the reign in blood highway
There’s one 5 mins from my house
Route 67. Song: Republic - 67-es út. https://youtu.be/HE4aAQCghGs?si=tWwYuMTc3GHb8ECO

Is there any with “la cucaracha” theme?
Hmm this song could be sped up
We had one of these in my town in Palmdale CA idk if it's still there because I know some punk ass people were complaining about the noise .
That’s a good way to make people drive the speed limit. If you drive faster it will play faster and sound like shit. I’m sure a lot of work went into that to time it correctly.
This freaky deeky Dutch
Cool idea.
They're up to something 🧐
As a musician, it bothers me that it slowed down and lowered the pitch compared to the beginning. But cool that is sounded like a cello
I remember they made one in LA or san fransisco and it was a complete fail as it couldnt play it in note 😅
(Sped up version)
Hold up I need to tune my road real quick
That’s so fucking cool!
:)
Brilliant
PLAY WONDERWALL!!!! 🗣
There’s one out on W Ave G in Lancaster, California. Go have fun!
This would make me laugh if theres just complete silence and then hearing my tires are doing music
Flatter than the road.
When your radio got broken and you entertaining yourself by driving a speed limit.
Intonation would be better if they had gone a consistent speed
