A road in Fujairah plays music when you drive over it

On a section of Sheikh Khalifa Street in Fujairah, cars literally play music as they drive by. This unusual stretch of asphalt is 750 metres long and has been designed so that the wheels of the vehicle vibrate special grooves in the surface. The result? A melody from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony resounds right under the wheels of cars.

This is possible thanks to a pioneering engineering solution. Engineers have laid vibration strips on the road, which in most countries are used to warn drivers. However, in Fujairah, they have been positioned with the precision of musicians, so that driving at a speed of around 105 km/h causes vibrations that create a clearly audible melody.
