Now the city has come up with a solution it believes will protect them: soliciting on the streets will be forbidden, and instead prostitutes and their clients will be expected to use a custom-built compound on an industrial site in the Zurich suburbs.
The facility opens this week; inside the gates, which are manned by security guards, there is a "strip" which men can drive down, and select the woman of their choice.
...
But since all business must take place inside the compound, there are drive-in "sex boxes", and here the measures taken to protect the women are very apparent.
On the driver's side, the boxes are very narrow, making it difficult for him to get out of the car. On the passenger side, there is plenty of space, an alarm button and an emergency exit.

This has cost the city $2.7m (approved in a referendum). As they say, they don't know how much it will be used.
