Rumble Strips In Japan Play Tune For Drivers - Inspirational Videos

If you’ve ever been on a long road trip, you know that they can get quite boring. Just staring at the road signs and listening to the radio can get old after a while and you need something to spark your interest. Especially if you’re by yourself in the vehicle, it’s so important to remain alert and that means paying attention to the road and being engaged.

Well, experts in Japan wanted to make sure that drivers were attentive but also entertained. That’s when they created a section of the Subaru highway leading up to Mount Fuji with a special surprise. When you drive over the rumble strips, they actually play a musical tune. The strips are placed at certain intervals so that when drivers go overtop of them, a real composition is heard. "Miagete goran yoru no hoshi wo" by Kyu Sakamoto is the name of the tune and it’s so incredible to hear.

Just watch as this driver records the entire experience and it’s so cool to watch. This is such a creative way for drivers to remain alert while on the road but also keeping a smile on their face. I’m sure people from all over decide to take this route specifically to hear this special tune.

The United States has a similar experience when driving through Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When driving over the rumble strips at 45 miles per hour it plays the tune of 'America The Beautiful.' This is something that I would love to see in person one day. What about you?
