On a highway in Hungary, a genius method has been implemented that deters drivers from hurtling at the wrong speed when taking to the open road.
Forget boring speed cameras or simple speeding alerts; across the Atlantic, this country’s concept is amusing drivers as well as keeping them safe.
It lies on Highway 67 and provides a new way to learn about the rules of the road.
The method in question? Well, it turns out that it is really rather apt.

This highway in Hungary takes things to a whole new level
Speeding is a big issue worldwide, and doesn’t just affect roads in the US.
From cameras to traffic cops setting up camp on the side of the road and boring ‘speed limit’ signs, different countries have different ways of tackling the issue.
Hungary, though, is living in the year 2036 with a unique way to keep drivers quite literally on the straight and narrow.
Trust us, you’ll want to listen to this one.
Recently, a video surfaced online of the country’s method to deter speeding on its highways, and it is pure genius.
Along Route 67 highway in Hungary, in 2019, a musical road was installed, and if drivers hit the right level, it plays a special tune, and the name of the song is no accident.

To speed or not to speed – that is the question
The road sits between Hungary’s Kaposvár and the M7 highway, and even plays a song called A 67-es út – yes, the song is quite literally called route 67.
According to BOON, the correct speed needed to make it play is 80kmh (around 50mph).
This means that if drivers hit a level that is faster or slower than that, the tune will be distorted.
You have to admit, the method is a stroke of genius, and even provides a backing track to your roadtrip to stop arguments over who controls the tunes.
The clever project proves that enforcing rules can be fun – and drivers can really see how fast they are going without looking at speedometers.
It isn’t the only road in the world that sings, either, with places such as Japan and the UAE also adopting the technique to make everyday driving into an orchestral affair.
We wonder what other countries will follow suit?
Maybe we could be hearing Life is a Highway on the way to work very soon.
