A comprehensive research program for the characterization of storm water runoff from an Arizona highway was conducted from January through December 2007. The study area covered a portion of the Loop 202 freeway west of Mesa Drive to a retention basin east of Lindsay Road in Mesa, Arizona. Storm water samples were collected from two storm water detention basins and a discharge point to the Salt River. The study was conducted by manually collecting storm water samples with passive automatic samplers and analyzing them for various roadway constituents. A primary objective of this research effort was to establish baseline values of constituents in ADOT highway runoff, aiding in the evaluation of related best management practices. A total of 16 storm water samples was collected from the research area between January 2007 and December 2007.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Roadway Departure Safety Implementation Plan (RDSIP) has identified tree removal as a feasible countermeasure to reduce roadway departure crash frequency or severity. Previous ADOT work has identified locations for tree removal, and activities to conduct this work are underway. To test the safety effectiveness of removing the trees, ADOT intends to conduct statistically rigorous before-after safety effectiveness analysis to estimate state-specific crash modification factors (CMFs).
