Should the UK follow Japan and develop musical roads?
13 November, 07 by elizabethbox
Engineers in Japan have developed a new way for car drivers to keep themselves entertained according to a report by Bobbie Johnson in today’s Guardian.
According to the article a team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of ‘melody roads’, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel. Groves are cut into the road at small intervals to create the sound, which you need to travel across at 28mph to get the optimal tune playback . There are currently three musical strips in central and Nortern Japan, but rest assured it is a initiative that is unlikely to feature on UK roads.
