    Good for interstates
    Avatar

    Driving down concrete-made interstates (with a naturally white color, not black asphalt) seems to generate the most noise—take Dallas’ North Tollway, for instance. I can’t drive down it with the windows cracked because it hurts my ears.

    With that much noise coming off the roadway, imagine the energy that could come out of it. For something like a tollway, it may be enough during peak times to power the toll booths and electronic toll collection readers/transponders.
