No loitering on the loo: New NYC bathrooms come with a time limit

New York City is launching a $4 million pilot program designed to improve public restroom access across the city. As part of this initiative, the city will install 17 new public bathrooms. To prevent loitering and ensure efficient turnover, these facilities will feature a strict 10-minute usage limit for all visitors. This strategic investment aims to address the need for accessible sanitation while maintaining order and availability for the general public within the urban environment.
