Since a law change regarding solicitation in 1999, most sex workers have been required to move away from the main road and the M-5 between Budapest and Szeged in particular. This road is not affected by the new legislation as it is a small rural road, but it still attracts a lot of traffic as it links the two main roads. During good weather up to 20 women will be working along this road. There are also women working on the M-50 near Dabas. Also at the entry to Szeged from the M-5 southbound, there are sometimes different women working from a bus stop on the right before you reach the large out of town shopping centre that appears on the left.
All sex takes place in the vehicle in a nearby off-road parking site.
Condom use is always required. Women still work in some clubs and small hotels in Szeged but some of the women are organizing with the help of the NGO Salamon Alapitvany to try and start a solicitation area. The majority of sex workers in Southern Hungary are young women and girl-children working in roadside prostitution. These sex workers work in roadside areas and their clients are a mix of local men, truck drivers, and foreign tourists. Prostitution was decriminalised in Hungary in the early 1990's, although solicitation and other peripheral activities have remained crimes.
