Salt and grit on roads.....

Has years/decades of salting the roads in the winters had any effect on the growth of hedges and wild plants. Has anyone done a study on this?

Yes, the Swedes have done a lot. http://www.vti.se/nordic/2-99mapp/299sw2.html would be a start but you may have to go to a research library to find the good stuff.
