Pop-up Urinals Proposed for Adelaide

The Adelaide City Council Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood has proposed a plan to install open air urinals in Adelaide's night club areas to combat the problem of late-night revellers relieving themselves in doorways and laneways (an offence which can attract a fine of up to $250).


Portable outdoor urinals have been trialled recently in Canberra and are already in use in Sydney. Perth and Sydney are going one step further by introducing urinals called Urilifts (popular in Europe), which retract into the ground during the day. I think this is a better solution, but I'd hate to be standing over one when it pops up!


This solves the problem for men wanting to relieve themselves, but what about women? Mr Yarwood wants to trial the portable urinals first, before considering the more expensive pop-up option. I have just one question: Where do you wash your hands? I just hope they only intend to have them operating in the "wee" small hours and not during daylight...
