A method, apparatus, and system for determining average lane travel speeds is disclosed. A plurality of vehicles traveling in a same direction as the ADV in a plurality of lanes are identified. Over a first time period, the plurality of vehicles is tracked. At least a first quantity of representative vehicles within the plurality of vehicles that are representative of vehicles traveling in the lane over the first time period are identified. For each of the plurality of lanes, an average speed over the first time period of the representative vehicles associated with the lane is determined. A trajectory is planned for the ADV, wherein the planned trajectory moves toward a lane whose representative vehicles have a fastest average speed. Thereafter, control signals are generated to control operations of the ADV based on the planned trajectory.
