Singing Road in Netherland
The "singing road" in the Netherlands was a road with rumble strips that played the Friesland provincial anthem when cars drove over them at the correct speed. The idea was to improve road safety by encouraging drivers to stick to the speed limit. However, the constant noise drove residents of a nearby village mad, and the road was closed after just one day.
How it worked
The road was located near the village of Jelsum in Friesland.
The road played the Friesland provincial anthem, "De Alde Friezen", when cars drove over the rumble strips at the speed limit of 60 km/h (40 mph).
The song played off-key if drivers went too fast or too slow.
Why it was installed
The road was installed to improve road safety.
The road was also part of a cultural event, as Friesland is known for its strong local cultural heritage.
Why it was closed
The constant noise drove residents of the nearby village mad.
One resident called it "psychological torture".
Another resident said cars were going faster to see if the song played at double speed.
