When there is free traffic flow in work zones:
(1) The location of lane change is compared to the entering speed ( )
(2) The location of lane change is compared to the mean of accelerator ( )
(3) The location of lane change is compared to the mean of lateral placement ( )
(4) The entering speed is compared to the mean of accelerator ( )
(5) The entering speed is compared to the mean of lateral placement ( )
(6) The mean of accelerator is compared to the mean of lateral placement ( )
