Cars in traffic.

AnyTown has a population of 44 million people who use 66 major east-west freeways, each of which has 55 lanes of traffic in each direction. The freeway speed limit is 6565 miles per hour (105105 km/hr) and everyone follows the safety rule of a "11 second following distance" between each car. Even with the safety consciousness, traffic jams cause the average commute to work to be 3030 minutes. During the 88 a.m. to 1010 a.m. rush hour, what is the maximum number of cars that can exit eastbound from one of the 66 freeways?
