The study of general ecological peculiarities of road geosystems should be conducted on the basis of analysis and evaluation of geochemical showings. Among anthropogenic factors influencing the formation of ecological-geochemical peculiarities of road geosystems the means of transportation have a considerable negative impact as sources of contamination. That’s why the study of ecological-geochemical condition of road geosystems all enables us to estimate them and to determine the change dynamics. On the basis of the conducted researches of the Prut-Dniester watershed geosystems, the concentration coefficients are calculated, there being determined the showings of contamination intensivity of the natural component and the integral indicator of the ecological danger, there being given a general evaluation of the ecological-geochemical situation of the road geosystems of the investigated area. Key words: road geosystems, technogenic contamination, ecological-geochemical composition, ecological-geochemical situation, ecological estimation.
