Musical Road: Lancaster, California

26 Comments 08 July 2009


On September 22, 2008 I traveled down the Musical road in Lancaster, California. When traveling at 55 MPH the grooves in the road play the song william tell overture. I shot video from the cab of the truck then I shot video on the side of the road.

  5. CoastStarlight11 says:

    If you check out the youtube account called “HondaMusicalRoad” you can see the step by step process that they went through to make the road. It is quite amazing.

    how did they manage to do that? that’s quite remarkable.

  7. CoastStarlight11 says:

    Alrighty.

  8. volleyshots says:

    Yes. The old one sounded a little better. You may have to go a little faster on the new one. Try about 60 mph instead of 50-55.

  9. CoastStarlight11 says:

    ok. Thanks for that heads up. Is it the same song in the road at the new location?

  10. volleyshots says:

    New location:

    West Ave G between approx. 35th and 45th. Stay in the left lane.

  11. CoastStarlight11 says:

    cool

  12. Espeelover says:

    Acualy I heard they made another one eaither on that same strech or another part of Lancaster but theres still on here in teh AV

  13. CoastStarlight11 says:

    Yea I heard the same thing. To bad it was paved over because it was a heck of a tourest attraction. I am suprised other towns have not come up with this idea, like as you come into town some song plays on the road. Good thing I got shots of this before it was paved over.

  14. Modeltrainguy says:

    Sad! Last I heard…this road DID get paved over about 3 weeks ago.

    Rumor has it they will repave ‘the musical road’ to be heard elsewhere. THAT’S just a rumor however.

  15. Modeltrainguy says:

    I wonder how it sounds when busses/BIG Trucks go over it.

    Tourists will surely miss it…when it gets paved over. Sigh.

  16. CoastStarlight11 says:

    Yep, this is a one of a kind road. Supposidly the road got paved over in the days after I shot this vid due to the fact that people living in the area were complaining about noise.

  17. Modeltrainguy says:

    WOW!! O_O

  18. CoastStarlight11 says:

    Thanks!!!

  21. C60AC says:

    That is AWESOME!!!

  22. CoastStarlight11 says:

    Nice. This was the first and only time that I had gone down the road.

  23. CentralCalRailfan says:

    I’ve been on that road a few times. Last time I went to Palmdale, which was about 5 months ago, I was on it.

  24. CoastStarlight11 says:

    It should stay but at least if they are willing to move it some where else it will not be gone forever. If you go to the Antelope Valley press web site they have a whole article about it includeing the repaveing and all.

  25. white93taurusgl says:

    I don’t think it should be repaved. However they said that they are willing to have it moved to a more remote part of the city.
