On The Road

Abstract While most people know anecdotally that weather affects traffic, relatively little research has examined the correlation between snow and traffic in great detail. Most studies have also been difficult to generalize for other areas and regions where drivers may be accustomed to more (or less) snow. This study examines the relationship between snow and traffic volumes in western New York State, an area that is regularly inundated by snow (more than 225 cm most seasons). Total daily traffic counts for the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) showed a moderate negative correlation to snow for the period of study (2003–10). However, this correlation is caused by the large number of passenger cars and other similar vehicles on the road. Most other vehicle types, such as tractor trailers, had no correlation whatsoever. Additionally, the results for all vehicle classes were similar for both suburban and rural areas. Finally, it was observed that the ratio of large to small vehicles increases during snow events.

Abstract Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.) is an invasive herbaceous plant, frequently found in wetlands and along roadsides throughout northern New York State. Its propensity to create monoculture stands in wetlands has resulted in intensive management in parts of its range, including central New York and Ontario and Quebec. The goal of this study was identifying the extent of infestations and to determine factors that promote the spread of purple loosestrife in order to determine best land use practices to reduce the spread of this highly invasive wetland plant." We attempted to answer several questions: What is the level of infestation along roadsides? Does mowing contribute to the spread? How do culverts under roadways influence the spread? Between mid-July and mid-August in 2017–2019, we mapped all infestations along 150 km (93 miles) of state highway north of the Adirondack Park and south of the St. Lawrence River using the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Collector app. We mapped the size and locations of infestations, in addition to collecting information on the plants within 1 m, recording over 100 additional species. The results of our preliminary analysis revealed significant increase in the number of plants over the study time (P < 0.001), including several hundred more infestations than had previously been recorded. We did not find any evidence that mowing promotes the spread of loosestrife. There were many more individual infestations in ditches along highways, but much larger and denser infestations in wetlands (P = 0.003 in 2019). We observed that culverts, drainage conduits under roadways, frequently had purple loosestrife on both sides of the road. We also found that culverts appear to serve as corridors that promote the spread of purple loosestrife from one side of the road to the other. We recommend working with the local landowners and NYS Department of Transportation to contain the spread and continue to propagate and spread the biological control.

The application of a steady field test program along with proper fieldman supervision markedly reduced the antibiotic incidence in milk at one large New York State fluid milk and cream dairy firm. Using the simple Cornell field antibiotic test kit much of the time, approximately 10,000 milks were tested over a four-month period on about 4,000 farms. The incidence in milk from producer can farms dropped from 6.5 per cent to 0.45 per cent during this period. On producer bulk tank farms the rate of incidence dropped from 5.1 per cent to between 0 and 0.5 per cent. As a result of this significant drop, no over-the-road tanker of milk destined for metropolitan areas contained antibiotics within the sensitivity limits of the tests employed. Control of the antibiotic contamination of milk apparently is only as effective as the testing program. Because cows are constantly being treated with antibiotics the incidence of these drugs in milk will be a reflection of the constancy of testing.
