It is a vector. It is the directed straight line distance, or displacement, between two points on the path of movement (even though the actual path may be curved) divided by the actual time taken to move from one point to the other.

The reason that it is a vector is that the direction traveled is important: it is possible that part of the motion was in the opposite direction from other parts.
