Thor gets all of his thousands of appearances and feats from 1962.
A rough street-level 'ballpark' would be anywhere from Alfred to Spiderman/Wolverine. So, Batman, Captain America, Iron Fist, Shang Chi, etc. etc. i.e. your typical elite street levelers are in this.
Direct comparisons [both in combat and otherwise] apply.
For example, Thor admitting Wolverine is faster while fighting him would be a direct combat comparison: (please log in to view the image)
Falcon saying Spiderman is faster than Thor would be an direct non-combat comparison: (please log in to view the image)
etc.
So. let us see how many feats/comparisons we can find, to pin-point the overall picture better.

When streets tag speedsters like the Flashes and the Supermen and the Quicksilvers and the Gladiators, we can point to their other feats and arrive at the conclusion that yes, Batman touching them is PIS.
Thor is established as having superhuman speed, which makes him at at least equal in speed to most of those street levelers shown. Thus, they should not be outspeeding him.
Thor may have a degree of superhuman speed --- but he has no respect for exercises which are meant for honing Avengers' reflexes (as shown in Avengers, Thor/Cap scene).
Speed with no training means little --- that's why someone like Daredevil is able to fight and even beat Spider-Man.
He relies on his brawn and pure power, he can't even begin to imagine what it is like to use his speed effectively.
He's as fast as the story needs him. He'll play down to streets, or he'll play up to more powerful foes. A writer would have no real qualms on him performing an off the wall speed showing since he's an upper tier character with crazy abilities. Doesnt happen often, but it does.
Bottom line is he has done speedwise what streets can only dream about.
Thats the difference b/n him and people on that level.
