Abstract
A total of 86 species of vascular plants have been found in the studied territories along the highways of Nizhny Novgorod. Asteraceae, Poaceae, and Fabaceae play a great role in the taxonomic structure of herbs. Cyperaceae and Rosaceae are less important. Among the ecologocenotical groups, meadow species form the basis of the herbaceous cover, but their participation diminishes at distances of 1–3 m from the highways. Herbaceous plants include also flowering meadow species, which play an indispensable aesthetic role.
