All ATM's must comply with the government order for citizans with disabilities act. The keypads are made seperately from the rest of the ATM machine and are ordered with braile due to citizans with disabilities act. nobody knos which keypads will be put on which machines. ones in a mall.convience stores.etc.etc. therefor the drive up ATM's have braile just as all the rest do

because they're just regular ATM's, the bank just chooses to put them in a drive thru

The DMV isn't allowed to discriminate against people like the blind or Muslims that wear masks over their faces. they are people too and entitled to drive a car..

The answers are correct you do not kow how the blind person gets there but miss one point: it is cheaper for the ATM maker to only make one design.

Yeah, the reason is just that the company that makes the ATMs is not going to make a separate type for drive throughs. it is easier to just make one design for all places.

because it is cheaper to use the same part on drive through ATMs as regular ATM's

My hypothesis is that the ATM machinery is standardized.

An ATM may be in a shopping mall, inside a bank lobby, where pedestrians can get to it. This way they do not have to have one model for drive thru, and another for shopping mall, one ATM has all features for all users.

There are some laws that insist on access to all types of different infrastructures for people with all different types of disabiliies. Some mixes may seem stupid, and nobody persuaded law makers to make some exemptions. I think the disabled access laws overall are a good thing to start out with common access, because if lists are made of what they should can access, we'll have tons of needs not still spelled out by the laws.

What I don't know is how a blind person is supposed to know there's an ATM over there.
