They also make them little pocket knives, too, but I don't see you doin that [amy]
The highway rest area restroom is quite possibly the absolutely worst place to relieve yourself in the category of permanent-toilet facilities. Paper products are reliably non-existent, and floors are reliably moist.
Behold, a standard issue highway rest area restroom in Switzerland:
a little tour....
1.) The toilet seat is spring loaded. With the default position in up, there is no opportunity for the standing user to defile the seat. If you want a seat, pull the lever (meant only for hands, pure of contact with a stranger's rear end). when finished, release the seat and the toilet automatically flushes. "Flushes" is completely inadequate. The latrine is an f*ing WATER FEATURE. The incoming water swirls around a two foot diameter stainless steel bowl in a way that suggests an oncoming laser light and pyrotechnics show.
Even if you do not use the seat, the toilet automatically flushes upon exiting when you open the door. Unlike its completely incompetent cousin the Sensor-Flusher, it never flushes mid-use, nor does it ever fail to flush upon completion.
2.) Soap.
3+4.) Faucet. One button, automatic shut off, no need to touch again after hands are clean. Not unusual. What puts this one in a class of its own, is that the water stream is engineered to arch into the exact center of the toilet drain. It's beautiful:
(Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the real thing. Trust me it's awesome.)
5.) Push here for hand dryer.
6.) Industrial strength hand dryer. No need for wiping hands on pantleg.
**6a.) I cannot confirm the following personally, but it has been reported by multiple male users. For guys: the hand dryer is at the optimal height to warm you up in all the right places, especially welcome in the Alps in February. This is what I have been told.
Overall, the stalls are clean, free of wetness on any surfaces that should not be wet. No odors. Unisex for ultimate efficiency in wait time. Toilet paper well stocked.
