Dutch Villagers Force Closure of ‘Singing Road’
荷兰村民迫使“唱歌之路”关闭
Special “singing strips” that had been placed on a roadway in the Netherlands were removed just one day after the official launch of a controversial experiment. The goal of the strips was to try to influence driver behaviour. Whenever a motorist drove over the singing strips at the legal speed limit, the anthem of the Friesland region would play. The experiment did not go over well with local residents who said they could not sleep or go outside due to the constant sound. Critics said the strips also encouraged reckless driving. Many curious motorists experimented to see what would happen if they sped up over the strips. The cost to install and remove the singing strips was close to $100, 000.
荷兰官方在一条道路上发起有争议的特别的“唱歌带”实验,仅仅一天后,它就被移除。这条唱歌带的目的是为了影响司机的行为。如果司机在唱歌带上的驾驶速度超过了法定限速,弗里斯兰省的赞歌就会响起。这项实验并没有受到市民的欢迎,他们表示持续的声音让他们无法入睡或外出。批评人士认为这条唱歌带还会鼓励鲁莽驾驶。很多司机出于好奇,故意超速驾驶看看会发生什么。安装和移除唱歌带的成本接近10万美元。
