I鈥檓 not sure this fits very well with other things in the infrastructure category, or the blue category. Much of the time, it鈥檚 actually part of some other POI.

Consider creating a different category for hyperlocal features that would also include street furniture. I鈥檓 assuming it would be less prominent than the infrastructure category: perhaps black, and appearing at a higher zoom level. Maybe a scaled-down icon and font.

The tradeoff would be in more remote settings where the amenity=toilet represents something significant in its own right. But I think that starts to get into a use case that OpenTrailMap would serve better anyways.

I don't believe places with toilets=yes get mapped to the toilets class in the OpenMapTiles schema, so the only toilets that should show up are POIs where the toilets are the prominent "feature" of that object, right? So assuming things are mapped "correctly" (i.e. an amenity=toilets is a dedicated restroom) we shouldn't run into the scenario you're describing very frequently, right? I think I'm hesitant to decrease how quickly these bathrooms/restrooms/toilets appear because I haven't seen any conflicts with other POIs so far (at least in places I'm looking).

Otherwise, I think a new category is fine, but maybe that can be a separate PR (or Issue to track that change)?

Even an amenity=toilet is usually conceptually part of some bigger facility. For example, in the screenshot you posted, it鈥檚 part of the school campus. We wouldn鈥檛 want a toilet POI to crowd out a school icon at a lower zoom level (for instance).
