Compton installs city's first set of Botts' Dots pavement markers in hopes of deterring street takeovers
"These dots are supposed to stop the tires from spinning which won't allow cars to do donuts and tear up the streets and the property surrounding," Spicer said in an Aug. 11 Facebook post. "Before y'all get on the posts asking/demanding we put them in your suggested intersections...we have already identified the intersections MOST used. IF they are as effective as we hope they are, THEN we will explore placing them in other intersections.
Botts' Dots pavement markers are named for Elbert Dysart Botts, a longtime Caltrans engineer who retired from the agency in 1960.
