Around The World
And after that, we will go to other musical roads elsewhere in the world. There are now a total of 43 aside from the ones in the U.S.: one in Denmark, another in Hungary, three in South Korea, three in China, one in Iran, one in San Marino, one in Taiwan, one in Indonesia, and 30 in Japan. A previous musical road in the Netherlands has been removed. The original one was dubbed the “Asphaltophone.” It was built by two Danish artists in 1995 in Gylling, Denmark. But it is Japan that appears to have had great success with them. As of 2016, 30 permanently paved 250-meter (820-foot) sections called “Melody Roads” exist throughout the country, including one near Mt. Fuji. It is time to visit Japan!
Usually, when we hear rumble strips, they're meant to alert us to something whether we've left the lane or we're approaching a hazard. However, there are places where rumble strips have been repurposed to bring a little bit of joy and interest to your journey. In some places, these rumble strips have been altered to create a little song. Here are four of the most well-known musical roads across the country.
New Mexico
On Route 66 between Albuquerque and Tijeras, if you go the speed limit, there are a series of rumble strips that will play "America the Beautiful." The road was created to encourage drivers to go the speed limit in this busy area.
California
If you find yourself near Lancaster, California, you can get a rendition of the "William Tell Overture” if you're going 55 miles per hour. The Lone Ranger theme was first installed and then paved over within 2 weeks, due to local complaints. However, once it was removed, others missed it and it was reinstalled in a less traveled area.
Alabama
Auburn fans will appreciate this one the most. An alumnus of Auburn University built a road that plays the first seven notes of the school's fight song. It serves as a beautiful welcome to the campus for students, faculty, and visitors.
