JING'AN District has moved to clear up potty confusion on Nanjing Road W.
The district has introduced standard signs for all public toilets on the street. The signs feature a standard image of a man in a suit and a woman in a skirt to help travelers find toilets easier.
Old signs used a pipe to represent the men's toilet and high-heel shoes to indicate the ladies' room.
The district began standardizing signs according to international practice in March.
"It is a good beginning. It makes the city more international and it's more clear and convenient for foreigners," said Jennifer Dong, a customer in Plaza 66.
However, some people said the old toilet signs added "charm" to the city and made it more unique.
