It is important to remember that when you pick up or attempt to pick up a sex worker, you are in someone else's neighbourhood. Throughout our consultations we have listened to the frustration of residents concerning increased traffic, garbage and a general lack of respect in their areas. Below we have listed some suggestions to help you be mindful of the residents who live in communities where there is street level sex work.

• If the sex worker has a place to go, let them bring you there.
• Most sex workers who are working on street do not charge by the hour but by the service. Always pay in advance and do not try to bargain.
• If you approach a person who you believe is a sex worker on the street and they do not respond to you, do not harass them. Be mindful of the fact that not everyone on the street is involved in sex work.
• Respect the neighborhoods you are in by not engaging in sexual relations in schoolyards and other public places where there may be children and families.
• Do not throw used condoms, drug paraphernalia, or other pieces of garbage in the street because they pose possible health hazards to residents and especially to children.
• Always leave your doors unlocked while the sex worker is in your vehicle.
• When driving in residential neighbourhoods, keep your speed within the legal limit.
• Do not continue to circle the neighbourhood if you've decided not to seek out the company of a sex worker. Noise pollution in residential neighbourhoods contributes to unrest and frustration.
• Are you aware that the street nurses in Vancouver provide online health information for men who see sex workers. They provide sexual health information and answer personal questions at the following link.
