Safety

  • Site restrooms to benefit from natural surveillance by the community.
  • Apply Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) in location, layout, lighting, surface, materials, fixtures and hardware. Read more about Building Safe Toilet Design into Shared Urban Space.
  • Protect users, especially children, from inappropriate contact with strangers in “gang toilets” by providing individual direct entry stalls.
  • Design doors to ensure privacy with safety: full length with a 1.5 – 2” gap at the bottom and a lock that authorities can open from the outside in an emergency.
  • Activate surrounding area with retail, information kiosks, food carts, street performers, bus stops, or parking pay stations.
