On a six-lane EDSA, an observer is stationed at a certain spot. All of the cars in lane 1 are moving at a speed of 80 kph, 75 kph in lane 2, and 90 kph in lane 3,66 kph in lane 4,70 in lane 5, 65 in lane 6 and 85 for the bus lane respectively. In addition, cars are kept at a constant 65-meter distance between. What will be the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for such a traffic stream based on the acquired spot speed data for all cars as they cross the observation site for 60 minutes?
