A spray mist suppressor removes spray mist generated behind one or more vehicle wheels once running along a wetted surface under spray mist generating conditions. The apparatus includes an intake duct having an intake inlet end and an intake outlet end, and a transition duct in environmental communication with the intake duct. The transition duct has a transition inlet end and a transition outlet end, wherein the transition duct has a cross-sectional area that is greater at the transition inlet end than at a location between the transition inlet end and the transition outlet end. The transition duct is configured to implement a Venturi effect to reduce a static pressure of a fluid within the transition duct flowing from the transition inlet end to the transition outlet end relative to a static pressure of the fluid outside of the transition duct. An aperture extends transversely through a wall of the transition duct and is configured to permit a suction force resulting from the Venturi effect to urge a spray mist into the transition duct.A coalescing duct is in environmental communication with the transition duct and curves such that any of the spray mist contained within the coalescing duct coalesces into a flowing body of water. A discharge duct is in environmental communication with the coalescing duct and extends laterally from the coalescing duct to a discharge outlet end.
