Musical Roads in Japan

Roads have been built in Japan which are laden with grooves. Each section of grooved road causes the car to emit a tone when passing over it. By spacing out these road sections appropriately, music can be played when traveling along the road.

Given that Indians hate to follow speed limits, this type of approach could be used to control their driving speed, based on musical tempo. Cute idea!
