Musical Road Featured in Honda Ad - Lancaster, CA - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

The Lancaster musical road was installed by Honda Motor Co. as a marketing campaign. It was designed to play The William Tell Overture (AKA the Lone Ranger theme song) when Honda Civics drove over it at 55 MPH. Of course other cars can drive on it, but supposedly it doesn't sound the same. The tune comes from grooves cut in the pavement similar to rumble strips on highways. These ones are spaced apart where a series of pitches will play when a car drives over them.

When this was built in October 2008, there were only four known musical roads in the world, and this was the first in the US.
