How do the DOTS work?

The DOTS are spaced for the simplest and safest use by motorists. When traveling at the posted 55 MPH, under ideal road conditions, a driver should allow two DOTS to be visible between them and the vehicle they are following. This space reflects the recommended three-second following distance at this speed. The project hopes to show people the appropriate visual spacing required to safely follow vehicles on other roadways beyond the project area.
