Traffic cruises over the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia. Dirt, oil and other emissions can filter down from the grating directly into the river, but that's not the only way automobiles contribute to pollution. Every vehicle on every road contributes to runoff of pollution into the Chesapeake Bay's waterways, and often traffic along the Lower Chesapeake includes bumper to bumper congestion.
