Apparatus comprises a unit for spraying the road surface with a fluid, preferably, water, and collecting the solution disposed upon the surface. The apparatus comprises a housing defining an inner chamber and having a lower edge operably adjacent and in close proximity to the surface and a portion defining an outlet operably in communication with extraction means by which the liquid is extracted from within the inner chamber; and spray means adjacent the housing for spraying the fluid at such a pressure upon the surface as to effect agitation and dispersal of the liquid in particulate form above the surface within the inner chamber for extraction through the outlet.
