Musical road out of tune with locals
A road which was specially created to 'play' a tune as motorists passed over it is to be paved over after complaints.
Avenue K in Lancaster, had a series of grooves cut into it so that as cars passed over at 55mph the sound would resonate and drivers would hear the Lone Ranger theme tune.
The experts behind the road (who locals wish were under it) said the high-tech sounds would be limited to those inside the car and anyone else would just hear the normal sounds of traffic.
You can see where this is going, can't you?
Locals say they are now subjected to a off-key and oddly paced version of the famous tune which keeps them awake at night.
After a series of complaints officials have now agreed to pave over the grooves which cover 400m of road - just weeks after it was created.
