At one lane of a highway, you were able to observe an average headway of 3.5 seconds/vehicle and an average spacing of 220 ft/vehicle. Determine the traffic flow in vehicles per hour, traffic density in vehicles per mile (use 5280 ft per 1 mile conversion), and traffic speed (space-mean speed) in mi/h
