To get drivers in New Mexico to slow down, a road that plays music is being installed along Route 66.

It's set to stretch from Albuquerque to a mountain town called Tijeras, and will have rumble strips that play a song as long as the driver is going the speed limit, The Associated Press reports. The road is being built by Tigress Productions for a new show on the National Geographic Channel called Crowd Control.
