The road was originally located in a residential area but due to traffic and noise complaints it was relocated to it's current location. The sound is achieved by cutting grooves in the pavement and placing them at specific intervals to create different pitches when driven over. It was actually pretty cool. The video doesn't really do it justice, it sounded better in person. So if you end up with some spare time and you're anywhere near Lancaster, CA check it out!

#271 - Drive on a musical road DONE!
There are only 3 musical roads in the world, and only 1 in the United States. While driving from TX to CA we decided to take a brief detour to stop by West Avenue "G" in Lancaster, CA to drive on the musical road. This particular road plays the William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger Theme) when you drive on it and although it's not pitch perfect, it's still pretty cool. Here's the video, check it out:
