25 mph at night, 45 day

Virginia Beach does not want to reduce the speed limit on Shore Drive for fear of creating traffic, and the residents want it lowered so when people are out at night in the bars, they can cross the road safely.

Why don't we treat it similarly to a school zone? During the day and at high traffic times, the speed limit remains 45 mph; after dark and when there is more activity in bars and restaurants, lower it to 25 mph. This could be accomplished with a couple of flashing lights with timers.
