In Fujairah, UAE, vehicles driving over a 750m musical road trigger vibrations and rumbles that play Beethoven’s 'Ninth Symphony' through the wheels and chassis. Photo: AFP
The humble road rumble strip, used around the world to alert drifting drivers to potential hazards or lane departures, can play Beethoven on a mountain highway in the far reaches of the United Arab Emirates.
For nearly a kilometre (a half mile) along the E84 highway - also known as the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road - motorists in the right-hand lane coming into the city of Fujairah can play Ludwig van Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony where the rubber meets the road.
