Wikipedia (and my personal experience) disagrees: "Pay toilets are especially common in Continental Europe." "In the United States, pay toilets became much less common from the 1970s, when they came under attack from feminists as well as from the plumbing industry." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_toilet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_toilet Rest stops along freeways in the U.S. are almost always free. Gas stations and restaurants and convenience stores will sometimes have a sign that restrooms are "For customers only" but there is almost never a charge specifically to use the restroom. In Europe, driving through the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and France, almost all restrooms where you didn't pay to enter the area required a separate fee. I remember specifically being surprised at the fee required to enter the restroom at a McDonald's in Europe.
