RS = Road Sides were infested with Sahara mustard. MED = In divided highways, in medians.

DES = Sahara mustard has moved from the roadsides into the desert, agricultural areas, or other lands adjacent to the roadsides.

At the time of the survey, did not appear to be moving off the fence line yet.
