A portion of the extension of SLEX is known to have a free-flow speed of 80 kph and a capacity of 4200 vehicles per hour. If in a given hour 3275 vehicles were countered at a specified point along this highway, compute the space mean speed of these 3275 vehicles. Use the equation q = k₁ [u] Where q = flow, k;= jam density, u = space mean speed, u₁ = free flow speed (10)
