    The HISTORY and it's "relation" to geocaching:

     

    Botts' dots are a form of non reflective raised pavement marker used on roads. In many U.S. states and in several other countries, Botts' dots are used to mark lanes on highways and many arterial roads and to create rumble strips, adding tactile feedback to drivers when they move across designated travel lanes. Botts' dots are named after Dr. Elbert Dysart Botts, a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) engineer credited with overseeing the research that led to the development of the markers and the epoxy used to attach them to the road.

     

     

    Botts' dots are typically round markers, most commonly white but also often yellow, and rarely found in black or other colors. They are made of ceramic, polyester, or plastics. In some areas of the United States, Botts' dots may incorporate a reflective lens.

     

    Botts' dots are rarely used on freeways in regions where it snows because snow plows scrape them off.

     

    Some roads have lanes only marked with Botts' dots eliminating the need to repaint lane divider lines.

     

     

    According to journalist Mark Stein, Caltrans records indicate that its personnel may have been speculating about the concept of raised pavement markers as early as 1936. However, the department did not commence research in earnest until 1953, when the postwar economic boom resulted in an alarming increase in the number of cars and car accidents in California. Painted lines tended to become invisible during rain creating a safety issue during rainy weather.

     

    In September of 1966, the state legislature mandated that Botts dots were to be used for lane markings for all state highways except in areas where it snowed in the winter.

     

    Today, there are more than 25 million Botts' dots in use in California.
