Near the Dutch village of Yelsum appeared a unique road that will surely make you laugh with its unusual property. However, people living close to her begin gradually go crazy about it.
The fact is that local authorities recently ordered to supply roadbed with special rubber bands that play a melody (namely, the local anthem) whenever it passes through them car or motorcycle. At the same time, traffic here is busy.
According to officials, this should encourage motorists with motorcyclists and make them stick speed limits. Music appears only if the vehicle moves at a speed of about 64 kilometers in hour.
Despite the fact that it is quite inventive and, at first look, a harmless idea, its authors did not take into account one important detail: close to the “singing” road live people who are forced to listen to this music almost around the clock. Especially senior citizens who may not leave their homes at all.
Watch the video below and introduce yourself to a place of villagers who are not able to sleep at night from an endless anthem. Immediately after the asphalt was equipped with such an innovation, local residents severely criticized the project. As a result, officials They promised to return the road to its harmless state, that is, to remove singing tapes.
