VIDEO: Stretch of Old Route 66 now sings "America the Beautiful"

You've probably sung along to the radio when you've driven down the road, but has the road ever sung to you?

Now it can.

On a stretch of Old Route 66 between Albuquerque and Tijeras in New Mexico, a familiar song may greet you through your tires.

"America the Beautiful" is played by rumble strips embedded into the right side of the road - but only at the reduced speed of 45 miles per hour. The experiment is designed for safety -- if drivers slow down, they're rewarded with the song.

New Mexico's Department of Transportation suggested the road for the experiment -- one of just five such roadway attractions in the world. National Geographic is responsible for picking the song, related to a TV show that premieres this November.
