Drivers on Fujairah's Sheikh Khalifa Street are being surprised by a one-of-kind musical experience. As they drive over a certain stretch of the road, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony plays, making it a new adventure for motorists in the UAE to try. The rumble strips, carefully engineered into the road surface just before the Fujairah Police Headquarters, produce the classical music piece when driven over at a steady pace.

Second musical road in France 

The world's second musical road was made in 2000 in Villepinte, Sien-Saint-Denis, France. The road seems to have been paved over just two years later, but some claim that it can still be heard when driving on the road. 

USA’s first

America’s first musical road was built in 2008 — in Avenue K, Lancaster, California. Called the Civic Musical Road, a quarter-mile stretch was designed to play the finale of the 'William Tell Overture' when driven over at a certain speed.  However, due to complaints from residents about the noise created by the road, it was moved two miles out of town onto Avenue G, where it still sits today.

accident prevention

Indonesia too installed a melody road to reduce the number of traffic accidents. The road, along the Ngawi-Kertosono section of the Solo-Kertosono Toll Road in Java, plays the first six notes of ‘Happy Birthday to You’ when driven over at the correct speed.
