KazAvtoZhol, the national road operator, has issued an unusual request to drivers: use only designated sanitary facilities for nature's call, reports infohub.kz.
The company's press service reminded that along republican highways, both heated and cold toilets are available. They are meant to provide travelers with a clean and comfortable restroom. However, some individuals, unwilling to wait in line, relieve themselves behind the toilet buildings. This leads to pollution, unpleasant odors, litter, and unsanitary conditions.
KazAvtoZhol urges drivers to show respect for others and adhere to basic rules of culture and hygiene. Specifically, they recommend using the sanitary facilities, even if it means waiting a bit, not leaving trash or toilet paper on the grounds, taking care of shared property, and respecting the workers who maintain cleanliness daily.
