The exit of the simple public toilet on the Shalu Leisure and Landscape Trail has poor visibility, making it easy for tourists to crash into cars and creating dangerous situations.

The simple public toilet on the Shalu Leisure and Landscape Trail is close to an industrial road and has a large plastic wood screen around it. When tourists step out suddenly after using the toilet, they often almost collide with vehicles going downhill, creating a dangerous situation. (provided by the public)

Taichung City's Shalu Leisure Landscape Trail is known as "Taiwan's version of the Mini Great Wall". It is a popular leisure attraction on the coast. There are many tourists visiting during weekdays for sports or holidays. The city government will set up simple public toilets there in 2022 to solve the problem of tourists. However, nearby residents said that the exit of the simple public toilet is adjacent to a narrow and downhill industrial road, and the plastic wood screen blocks the view. Tourists often suddenly step into the road after using the toilet, causing vehicles downhill to slow down and evade, creating dangers everywhere.

The Taichung City Tourism Bureau stated that the installation of simple public toilets is to improve the quality of recreational services. In view of the need for improvement on the industrial road adjacent to the entrance and exit, it will dispatch personnel to conduct on-site surveys as soon as possible, and invite relevant units to inspect the safety of the movement route, and prioritize improvement measures such as adjusting or dismantling some plastic wood screens and lowering the height to enhance the visibility of people and vehicles.

People reported that the lack of public toilets on the Shalu Leisure Trail and the hiking route leading to Taichung Metropolitan Park made it inconvenient for tourists to use the restroom. After public opinion representatives invited relevant units to negotiate and negotiate, the city government set up a simple public toilet next to Lane 726, Section 6, Taiwan Avenue, to solve the problem that hikers have been unable to find a toilet for many years.

However, residents reported that in front of the public toilet is an industrial road less than 4 meters wide, and it is on a downhill section, with frequent vehicles returning in the morning and evening. There is almost no buffer space between the exit of the public toilet and the road, and a large plastic wood screen is set up around it, which is just right. Blocking the line of sight of both pedestrians and drivers makes it difficult for tourists to see cars coming downhill when they step out of public toilets. Vehicles passing downhill are often blocked by screens and are often frightened by tourists who suddenly appear, causing drivers to brake suddenly or dodge, creating dangers.
