•Highway runoff is nonpoint source pollution in terrestrial and aquatic environment.•There is a knowledge gap on highway runoff characterization and treatment.•Characterization of highway runoff is highly site-specific.•The spatiotemporal variation is the main factor in the selection of the BMPs.•Risk analysis and decision-making methods are critical for the BMPs design.
Highway runoff is one of the most significant non-point sources of pollution for the terrestrial and aquatic environment with biological, physical, and chemical effects. Considering local characteristics, treatment practices, and determining factors are essential for highway runoff management. The aim of this paper is to survey the review of highway runoff management in Europe with emphasis on runoff characterization, treatment, and modeling approaches and identifying possible knowledge gaps exists based on our review. The results showed that highway runoff has spatiotemporal variation, which is the main factor in the regional selection of the best management practice (BMP). Also, recent studies have poorly deemed characterization of highway runoff in different climatic scenarios, performance assessment of the current BMPs, and uncertainty analysis in modeling approaches. Furthermore, economic and risk analysis, along with decision-making methods, provide an optimum plan for the design and operation of BMPs.
