PCIe uses differential signaling which should approximate AC so the electrons do not have a net movement down the wire at all, they more or less just wiggle back and forth. In reality there is likely some DC bias resulting net migration but a signal trace should be very low current; you're probably looking at electron drift velocities in the range of a 1-2 millimeters per hour if were to hand-wave a guess.
