@Alfred by fixtures, does this mean toilets?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Yes, when referring to fixtures in a restroom, it often includes toilets. Other fixtures commonly found in public restrooms include sinks, urinals , and sometimes amenities like baby changing stations or sanitary disposal units. In the context of restroom capacity, the number of fixtures, particularly toilets, is a key factor in determining how many people can be accommodated at once.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN In the USA, there is often a difference in total public restroom capacity between men and women. This is because building codes typically require more fixtures in women's restrooms compared to men's restrooms to reduce waiting times. This difference aims to address historical disparities where women have had to wait longer for access to restrooms compared to men. However, some newer facilities are designed to have equal or similar capacities for both men and women.
