How many convex mirrors are required in each inspection bay?

In Maryland State Inspection facilities, each inspection bay requires two convex mirrors to ensure comprehensive visibility for the inspectors. The primary reason for having this number of mirrors is to enhance safety and efficiency during vehicle inspections. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to flat mirrors, allowing inspectors to observe areas that may not be directly visible, such as blind spots around the inspection bay.

By utilizing two convex mirrors positioned strategically, inspectors can monitor both sides of the vehicle and the surrounding area effectively. This setup helps prevent accidents and ensures that the inspection process is thorough, as it allows for a better overall perspective of the incoming and outgoing vehicles. The use of two mirrors is a standard practice that balances visibility with practical space considerations in an inspection facility, supporting optimal operational safety and efficacy.
