1. That's crazy. And amazing!

And I want one near me!

[ZZenith]

2. Because of course it does.

Democratic socialism in action right there.

Count the billboards in this clip.

[JDC]

3. There are a couple in the USA also

google will likely pull them up.

21. Lancaster, California's Musical Road is out of Tune

Then, at great cost, they repaved it, and cut new groves....only to make the same mistake a second time.

4. Elvis

I always thought the road into Las Vegas should play Viva Las Vegas if you hit it at the right speed

A few others ... https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/73142/musical-roads-5-places-where-streets-sing

8. I live near the one in New Mexico

Contrary to what the claim is in the link, it will still sound like "America the Beautiful" at speeds below and above 45mph- but not as nice as 45- just slower or faster. It would be nice if they had painted the section with the groves so you could more accurately transverse it. Oh, and a little further on (after the song finishes) on the road is a section that appears to be a "first" attempt at some song- it's real short- and they tried to obliterate it but it still sings something. It's all pretty cool .

5. Cool

We're vacationing in the Netherlands in late March. I want to find this!

6. AAARRGH!

My fucking singing roads patent that I never filed!!!

It came to me while driving into DC back in 1994 - true story.

It was late at night and I was on my way to SC. Due to roadwork, the road was grated (being prepared for resurfacing). I hit two patches and they made sounds like musical note. I thought to myself, wouldn't it be cool if they grated the road with the 1st 8 notes of the Star Spangled Banner? I always meant to patent that idea!!!

7. cool!!!

[Fla Dem]

9. Great! The Netherlands have singing highways and the US has crumbling infrastructure.

And we can't afford medical care for all and we have high rates of poverty. Our inner city schools are in shambles, we don't pay our teachers a living wage. But we spend trillions of dollars every year on the military industrial complex and give billionaires tax cuts.

I applaud the Netherlands.

Sorry, this just triggered a rant.

11. When yer right, yer right.

[marble falls]

10. When you drive too fast it turns into ...

[warmfeet]

32. Yep.

We are on the highway to hell. That is why I am taking the first fork in the road I find. Spoons and knives are okay, but forks, well that's another matter entirely.

[marble falls]

33. Yogi was not the kind of guy to pass up a good fork.

[packman]

12. Now THAT is too cool

[Doc_Technical]

13. How do you say

"Fun fun fun on the Autobahn" in Dutch?

[Ron Obvious]

14. "Lol lol lol op de autobaan" is as close as I can think of

Of course, the original German was "Fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn" (/PEDANT mode off)

[BHDem53]

15. In the Netherlands a

little "Radar Love" would be appropriate. Or maybe a "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, perhaps.

[Bob Loblaw]

17. Just Focus

[BHDem53]

22. Bedankt!

[Bob Loblaw]

18. And this

[BHDem53]

23. Nogmaals bedankt!

[Bob Loblaw]

24. Alstublieft

(Google translator)

My heritage is Dutch, visiting is on the bucket list.

[OhZone]

16. Cool

So Holland and New Mexico have this.

And I thought only Japan came up with this kinda thing. ha

[Mr. Ected]

19. Surprised there wasn't a bicyclist pedaling alongside

I loves me the Netherlands.

[ChazInAz]

29. Mich auch!

[AllaN01Bear]

20. whom ever thought of this, is very uber cool.

[DFW]

25. These days, you're lucky if you can get up to that speed in at all in NL

Traffic is so dense there that you practically have to drive between 11 PM and 6 AM to find a stretch of road that doesn't resemble a parking lot. I'm there once a week most of the year, and at times their main roads make an L.A. freeway seem deserted by comparison.

[Ron Obvious]

34. And I believe a ridiculous 100km/hr speed limit just went into effect

At least for daytime hours. I doubt that will really reduce pollution.

I lived in West Texas during the 55mph national speed limit. It was a ridiculous speed limit for those conditions back then (early 80s) and I know at least one person who fell asleep behind the wheel driving home from Austin to El Paso in those conditions.

[dewsgirl]

26. That's incentive right there!

[Pachamama]

27. That would annoy the hell out of me - especially with that sound

That isn’t music - it is awful and it would encourage me to not “hit the right speed”

[Bayard]

28. If you drive in reverse,

Does it play secret messages?

[Jeebo]

30. I'd think that'd be hard on your tires.

[caraher]

35. It would be

It's just "tuned" rumble strips, really... maybe less severe but same idea

[GeoWilliam750]

31. Cool!
