That is a segment. Most on that road are passing through - to/from San Clemente and Oceanside. Typically these riders are going 30+ miles.

Actually Strava would be a good place to compare to.
Talking about different things maybe, or different perspectives. Only 10% of those guys are going 23 mph or better, and spot-checking the 30 mph guys a lot of them were around 20 mph for the whole ride.
