Where are convex mirrors located on a school bus?

Convex mirrors are strategically placed on school buses to enhance the driver's visibility of the area around the bus. They are specifically located on the bottom of the flat mirrors on both sides of the bus. This placement allows the driver to have a wider field of view, which is crucial for spotting pedestrians, particularly children, and other vehicles that might be in blind spots.

By using convex mirrors, the driver can see a larger area compared to what would be visible with flat mirrors alone. This is particularly important in a school bus context, where safety and awareness of surroundings are paramount, especially when stopping to pick up or drop off students. The other locations mentioned, such as the front, the roof, and near the driver's seat, do not utilize convex mirrors in the same way to expand visibility effectively.
