Why do drive up atms have brail on them?

Question

wouldnt it be kinda hard to drive if you couldnt see??

Answer 1

So that when I drive a blind friend to the bank, he can sit in the back seat and do his own banking from the car. Thus he has the same convenience that I have, and he doesn't have to ask me to do it for him. I would be glad to do it, but please, let's allow him a little bit of independence!

Answer 2

I noticed the other day that the baby changing station in the bathroom had brail on it, and I thought it was strange.

I mean, I have no idea, but I can't imagine a blind person just goes feeling around everything for brail... and if they were looking for a baby changing station, they probably already know how to use it, right?

I know, not the same thing, but while I was there I really wondered about it...   and I've never seen a drive up atm, so I've always wondered if they really do have brail on them!

Answer 3

The atms are built on a mass production line as one unit, these units can be installed in a number of different places, places like in malls outside of a store or a drive thru. They put the brail on there for the walk-up customers and blind people can walk, right. The atm units can be installed just about anywhere
