I have lived both in Australia and in Taiwan. In both countries,
bathroom floors had drains to avoid serious flooding in the case of
overflows. The bathroom floor drain in Australia even dealt with the
problem of blockage of the regular drains/sewers: the floor drain
went straight out through the wall above the ceiling of the lower
story and had an angled flap to prevent drafts but allowed the water
to escape.

Why have I never encountered such in US bathrooms?

Perce

Because we don't pee on the floor?

Here in Aus we tend to Pee in the toilet not in the bathroom.



Now you have my curiosity up. What room are your toilets in?
Bathroom for washing, Toilet for the waste. Where else would you go?

p.s. Most oz houses have a separate room colloquially known as a dunny or wc
(water closet)
