Question

Why is there braille on drive-thru ATM's ?

Answer 1

It's called the Americans With Disabilities Act. All devices available to the public must be accessible by the disabled, which includes blind people.

Answer 2

One pad fits all and sometime blind people ride along in the back and they do use this as well.

Answer 3

Justin's correct. That ATM could be installed anywhere & all of the fronts are the same.

It is strange though.

I've also seen braille signs in one DMV office I stopped in once with a friend of mine.

Answer 4

Even MacDonald's drive thru has a sign stating menus in braille available. I don't know of too may blind drivers:>O

Answer 5

because the parts they use to build the ATM are universal as the drive up ones are the exact same ones as walk up ones just at a different height for cars...it would not be cost effective to create special parts just for drive up ATMs.
