Unless, according to code, there isn't enough room in the outer area, or opening outwards would create a hazard. This is often why many public bathroom door open inwards, and yet passed code inspections.

The very first sentence of the paragraph in your link's section on this subject mentions these exceptions.

My post includes the clause "under certain conditions". I was trying to inform the OP of fire code regulations that might impede this design. I'm not sure why this was responded to so negatively.

I think that’s fine. The path of egress should always be outside the bathroom, no?

Can this be worked around with two sets of doors (opening in separate directions) or doors that can swing either way?
