Shore Drive speed limit lowered to 35


Posted on Jun 04, 2010

On Tuesday, the Virginia Beach City Council unanimously decided to lower the speed limit on part of Shore Drive from 45 mph to 35 mph.  The stretch of Shore Drive that will be affected runs from Pleasure House Road to North Great Neck Road.  The decision came after friends and family members of pedestrians killed on Shore Drive and neighborhood residents petitioned city leaders.  Virginia Beach traffic engineers believe that the 45 mph speed limit was appropriate for Shore Drive.  Police have said that the two most recent pedestrians killed on Shore Drive were under the influence of alcohol and not in crosswalks when they were hit; no charges have been filed against the drivers.
