This felt too valuable not to share. Braille-labeled maps of washrooms to help people find and use facilities in the washroom. Everyone deserves to get in, do their business, wash their hands, and get out in peace and safety.

This seems valuable for all public spaces.

@cargot_robbie great idea. A question though, how does a blind person find the sign to access the diagram? where is it on the wall, are they uniformly placed on the wall? and a funny question too, in the accessible loo, does the guide dog have a toilet for his or her use too? *smile* *I know guide dogs don't use regular toilets, but My grandad did see a chemical bucket *dog loo* for the disposal of dog fecies in the 80s and genuinly asked, "how would a dog use that?"

@bigpawedbear @cargot_robbie she said her boyfriend brought her to the door, we can do our best for things to be discoverable without any help, but when that fails, human help is good, too, people could indicate the direction of the door to the person, and tell them there is a sign on it, so they could feel it and take it from there.

By "me and my dog" i assume she means the dogs follows her everywhere, but i don't think it uses the facilities, maybe i'm wrong tho. 😅
