Braille Dots

Braille is written language for the blind using a series of raised dots in sequenced combinations to produce letters that can be felt as the finger is moved across them. ATM machines are for people to withdraw and deposit money in their bank accounts. A drive up ATM machine is one that can be accessed from outside by driving your car up next to it and rolling down your window to use it. Since blind people do not drive, why are brail dots on these ATM machines?

I have been asking the same questions my entire life!

Besides the fact a blind person shouldn't be behind the wheel... how are they going to answer the questions, like "Which account" and "would you like a receipt for this transaction" or better yet, " English or Spanish?"

Why are there Braille Dots on a Drive up ATM?

Drive-up ATM buttons are marked with braille because federal regulations require it. To be specific, section 4.34.4 of the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings & Facilities says, "Instructions and all information for use [of an automated teller machine] shall be made accessible to and independently usable by persons with vision impairments." Drive-up ATMs, unlike the walk-up variety, don't need to be wheelchair accessible, but the rules make no exception regarding accessibility by the blind.
