A suction-type road sweeping vehicle (100) with a forward air blast capability formed using a blow mechanism (142), which redirects an exhaust flow of a rearward debris suction mechanism (114) to a blow nozzle (144) mounted forwardly of the front wheels (104) of the vehicle. The blow mechanism acts to blow material away from the path of the vehicle before the vehicle passes, whereafter the suction mechanism performs conventional cleaning on the cleared path. The direction of the blow nozzle may be controllable from the driver's cab of the vehicle.
