street prostitution
Curbside sex work
Street prostitution is the solicitation and sale of sexual services in public spaces—sidewalks, parking lots, street corners—rather than through indoor venues like brothels or escort agencies.
It's the most visible form of sex work and the most targeted by law enforcement: She was arrested for street prostitution.
The term often appears in policy discussions contrasting outdoor solicitation with indoor or online arrangements.
