A device 400 for suppressing airborne spray from a moving vehicle has a water suppressor 410 with an elongate portion 412 and a first curved portion 414, so that an end of first curved portion 414 is coupled to an end of elongate portion 412. Elongate portion 412 directs flowing air to first curved portion 414 to generate a vortex near this first curved portion, which may direct surface water spray towards a road surface. A plurality of devices 400 may be coupled to a support 422 and the devices may be spaced to allow flowing air to flow between them. Devices 400 may be perpendicular to or at an angle to a road surface. Water may be collected from ends of devices 400 into an edge cap (428, Figure 4C) for diversion to an outlet (430, Figure 4C). A water channelling means is also disclosed.
