Green highway development is a new concept which emerged last decade in developed countries. It steers toward construction and implementation of sustainable highways to minimize and control the environmental impact, while aiming to boost social and economic suitability. Bryce [1] suggested that green highways should embrace more sustainable practices and maximize the highway lifetime than current construction technology and put forth watershed-driven stormwater runoff management. Several attempts have been made in developed countries to set green highway features in order to protect natural water resources.
