Musical markings have appeared for the first time on the 653rd km of the M-11 Neva high-speed highway in Russia — transverse noise strips that reproduce a fragment of the composition "Kalinka-Malinka" when a car is moving at the permitted speed. This experiment was presented by the Chairman of the Board of GC Avtodor Vyacheslav Petushenko at the Road 2024 exhibition.
The musical markings were created by specialists from Avtodor-Engineering using software that allows accurate calculation of the parameters for applying the marking lines in such a way that a musical effect is created when driving over them at the set speed. This innovation helps not only to entertain drivers, but also to improve safety by encouraging drivers to concentrate on the road and comply with the speed limit.
The project is aimed at achieving the goal set by the President of Russia to reduce road deaths by 1.5 times by 2030 and by 2 times by 2036. Musical markings, like ordinary rumble strips, warn drivers and help prevent accidents, especially on dangerous sections of roads.
