Restrooms & Travel abroad
Just saw this at a major crossing in one of the world's great cities.
I share this with this forum to bring out the importance of access and not just availability.
In the photograph, the restroom sign is placed prominently but discreetly alongside the names of two of the most famous high-streets of the metropolis.
Best Regards,

Thank you for sharing the statistics, Sir. I shared that image from the central business district of Melbourne in Australia. This city has been voted several times as one of the world's "most livable cities", as measured on a number of parameters, of which, surely, cleanliness is but one. Best regards, Gaurav Sobti more

Its badly needed in all tourist areas and shopping areas and highways .The government must try to emulate other countries in this at least for citizens sake. more

It is a good picture to indicate sutly Mr.Sobti the location of rest rooms. Some how I feel that we have been born with clostrofobia to to stand, sit or squat between 4 walls. Open air style still prevails. Some statistics : " India: 638 million The world's second-most populous nation after China, India has the world's largest number of people going outdoors. Nearly 640 million Indians, or 54 percent of the 1.1 billion population lack access to toilets or other sanitation facilities. In some states, the problem was so bad that village women started a slogan: "No toilet, no bride." But 50 % of population that is 550 million has Mobiles . China: 50 million China has 50 million 1.38 Billion citizens going in the open. That's only 4 percent of its 1.3 billion population. More than 267 million Chinese have gained access to improved sanitation since 1990, according to the WHO. As the Los Angeles Times recently found, China's surge in wealth is also causing a spike in toilet purchases. Nearly 19 million toilets are sold in China annually - double the number sold in America. Pakistan: 48 million Of Pakistan's 177 million people, about 48 million go where they please. But Pakistan has seen incredible gains over the past two decades, with 47 million people no longer defecating in the open, according to the WHO's 2010 update on progress on sanitation and drinking water. 37% defecate in the open " I am curious to know which big city is that. Cheers ! more
