8. The following figure shows an example of an aerial photo taken of 500 ft of roadway. It shows vehicles traveling at constant speeds on a rural highway of two-lanes (one per direction). A researcher standing at the beginning of the section observed 3 vehicles passing during a period of 11 seconds. The velocities of each vehicle across the 500 ft were as 60 mph, 30 mph and 40 mph, respectively. Calculate the flow, density and space-mean-speed based on the schematic. 160' 60' 20¹ 20¹ 40 mph 30 mph B 500' 120' 20¹ 60 mph A 100' Direction of flow
