The Urilift's Public urinal(about $70,000) stays underground all day and rises up every evening for nighttime public urination problem. It will pop up at 10pm and drop down again at 3am every day(if it will close the drunk man undergroud? Maybe I thought ...). Unlike the automated, self-cleaning toilets with doors that automatically open after a set time period, the Urilift is a two-meter(over 6 feet tall) high stainless steel cylinder with three alcoves, each with a urinal, and no doors. If I can not find any toilets, I will consider it(shame)...
"A council spokesman said: 'We intend to use the pop-up loo to tackle the problem of people urinating in shop doorways and on the streets of our town centre.' "
It already installed in various cities in Europe. The video after the more.

You can find those in several cities in the Netherlands, like The Hague or Rotterdam. The whole self-cleaning feature does not work a 100%, but the system def is a success
