Places in the U.S. Where You Can Find Musical Roads

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.

These are just the ones you can find in the United States. Countries like South Korea, Denmark, and Japan also have these musical roads.
