<i>&quot;Tooshlights can also collect data on restrooms’ usage rates: for example, a consistently green light in a sea of red may tip off the maintenance crew that a loo is out of order or needs to be cleaned.&quot;</i><p>This doesn&#x27;t really clarify what happens with a stall that&#x27;s out of order or in an, ahem, &quot;unusable&quot; state. In fact it sounds more confusing because now the person that was first wants to become first again and wait for another usable stall to open...
