Not sure if this would work in the US though...
It's been a year since Zurich, Switzerland, installed drive-in "sex-boxes" to improve safety for sex workers, and now authorities are hailing the program as a success.
Attracted by the prospect of on-site social workers and security (and no pimps), prostitutes agreed to relocate from a popular strip in downtown Zurich to the wooden, car-sized boxes just outside the city. Onsite amenities include a panic button in each "box," laundry, showers and a cafe, the Agence France-Presse reports.
On average, 15 prostitutes can be found working nightly at the publicly funded sex boxes, where clients -- who must be alone -- drive in, cruise the facility and select a sex worker, who then gets in the car and has the client park in one of the monitored boxes.
To work inside the all-night drive-in, prostitutes must pay a small tax and stop soliciting on the streets, according to The Associated Press
