Many other places use similar devices. For places that don't have snow,
I like the California version, Bott's dots.

Dave Hatunen:
Bott's dots aren't reflective.

"Botts' dots may incorporate a reflective lens."

Never seen one with a reflective lens; I wonder where they put
it.

That wiki article is referred to in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_pavement_marker as

"Non-Reflective Raised Pavement Markers (or Botts' dots)
Main article: Botts' dots"

I think the author of that wiki article has Botts' dots and
raised reflective markers confused. I'veseen a lot of the blue
raised reflective markers denoting a fire hydrant, but never a
botts' dot.
