Paid for by the National Geographic Channel for its series, "Crowd Control," the road plays part of "America the Beautiful" -- but only if you travel the speed limit: 45 mph. Signs removed and maintenance stopped in 2020, but it's still there.

So neat! Still there as of December 2022 and worth visiting. Must be traveling Eastbound; between markers 4 and 5.
[Courtney Perez, 12/17/2022]Just confirmed at least part of it is still there. It is so fun we turned around and did it again.
[Ron Renken, 09/26/2022]All signs have been removed but Google Maps will get you there. The rumble strip is several inches inside the white fog line, not outside. Set your cruise control to 45. Only the beginning of the song is still there.
[Jenna, 06/26/2022]Make sure that you're heading eastbound on Historic Route 66. You'll pass a small underpass and round a slight curve, and that's when the song starts. Make certain that your tires are on the white side line and go 45 mph. The sign is gone, but the musical road is still there to visit!
