Give an example of when your average speed would be higher than instantaneous speed

When I drive to the office, I drive through two school zones,
and four intersections that are controlled by traffic lights.

My average speed for the trip is higher than my instantaneous
speed is at any point in the school zones, or at any time when
I'm waiting for a red light to change.
