streetwalker
Sells sex publicly
A streetwalker is a prostitute who solicits customers on the street.
The term emphasizes the public, visible nature of the work—walking the streets looking for business—as opposed to working in a brothel or through an agency: Police arrested several streetwalkers near the highway.
