Rumble strips have been fitted on the side of the road, each in their own size to replicate a note. If driven across at regular speed, the strips, together with the sound of the tyres and road surface, play the molody of “A 67-es út” (Road 67), a classic Central European hymn by Republic.

The editorial staff of Magyar Építők went to the site and recorded this video. What your editor is trying to figure out: does the band receive music royalties each time one drives over it? It is a public performance, in theory.
