Most general public bathrooms (ie. not ones found within stores/reataurants) in Australia don’t have doors - but rather an S-shaped path that provides privacy, without the necessary “stickiness” of having to touch a door handle.
I have been joking with my roommate lately that we’re probably only a decade or so out from landlords putting coin-op toilets in apartments. What a capitalist dystopia it’ll be.
I’ve hyperextended my knee using one. Good times. Hyperextension used to be a “oh that sucked” but as I get older they’re more and more a "oh shit is this the time it fails on me? " territory.
Many places put these on the bottom of the door for this very reason. Granted they only help people able to use them.

Is this not common elsewhere?
In facilities that have lots of room, yes (malls, schools, etc). Workplaces generally less inclined to devote that much space to it.
Yeah we have that in Europe on highway stops and other places with high traffic of people like stadiums, big concert venues etc.
My workplace does this, there’s still a door but it’s always open
That’s what most airports, schools, and such seem to have in my experience. (U.S.)
Which makes it REALLY hard to vape in there
I wish. I’m surprised we haven’t brought back pay toilets in the US.

Those things fucking suck when you can get them to work and they are downright dangerous otherwise.

Nothing like losing your balance or getting your foot jammed when someone slams the door open from the other side. I prefer the wheelchair buttons
Best I can do is a Palantir face recognition device that verify your identity before allowing you out of the bathroom
If you make sure it doesn’t let you out unless you wash your hands, I’m all for it.
