The drive-in "sex boxes" as they are being called, will be officially opened on August 26, as part of a drive by authorities in Zurich to regulate prostitution, combat pimping and improve security for sex workers.

The nine garage-style structures, located in a former industrial zone in the west of the city, have been organised with typically Swiss precision.

Drivers will have to follow a clearly marked route along which up to 40 prostitutes will be stationed.

Once they have chosen one of the women and negotiated a fee, they will drive into one of the wooden sheds, which are hung with posters advocating the use of condoms and warning of the risk of Aids.

The sex boxes are equipped with alarms which the prostitutes can activate if they feel in danger from a client.

Excellent idea

I agree!

They've had a very similar 'system' in Japan for many years now.
They call these places 'Fashion Health'
Great idea

Doesn't seem to control pimping nor improve security for those working in the sex industry though. There are always those who don't want/cannot meet the strict regulations and so seek alternative means. Sad but true.
