Claims
What I claim as my invention is:
1) The strategic placement of grooves in a roadway surface perpendicular to the direction of travel to produce the desired frequency at a given rate of speed.
2) Variation in groove size and spacing will allow for composition of adjacent pitches to produce music or voice.
Description
[0001] The Musical Highway consists of concurrent grooves in the pavement, perpendicular to the flow of vehicular traffic on a roadway. These grooves will be a calculated distance from one another, relative to the production of a desired sound for an unspecified use. The variation of groove size vs. distance, through the motion of vehicles traveling there on, will produce a variety of pitch. Arrangement of pitch will provide from traffic information to pleasant melodies.
