KRASNOYARSK, January 28 (RIA Novosti) – Russian authorities are looking to up the fun factor of traveling in Siberia with a proposal of “musical roads” to be built in the Krasnoyarsk Region.
Musical roads are created by making grooves in the road surface that make sounds when driven over, and spacing them at specific intervals so that the sounds form a melody.
So far, only four countries in the world offer this type of entertainment – Denmark, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
But the Krasnoyarsk Region’s state-run road management agency also has plans to create musical roads in the province, agency spokesman told RIA Novosti.
He gave no timeframe and did not specify a melody to be played. But he said the sound would only appear when driving under the speed limit.
Melodies currently played by musical roads worldwide include “The William Tell Overture,” “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and Japanese pop tunes.
