My brother told me that Botts Dots, the raised bumps that separate lanes on the highway, were there so that the blind could drive. I couldn't figure out how blind people would know when to stop because they couldn't see stop signs or traffic signals. It was probably 2 or 3 years later when I realized that my mom just couldn't drive in the lane steadily.
