Racecourse Road’s unrelenting traffic gridlock is taking a toll on Melbourne Rotomould, according to co-director Tim Leed.
While business is booming, the delivery of supplies has been severely impacted by constant traffic.
“You don’t know whether it’s going to take you one minute to go 700 metres, or 15 minutes because the roundabout stops functioning and the traffic is queued up down the road,” he said.
“It’s extremely difficult for deliveries.
“If we want to ring up a local supplier like Pakenham Bearings and get them to deliver something, we might not get it because the traffic is not moving.
“Anyone who has been on Bald Hill and Racecourse Road knows it is crazy and unbelievable.”
It comes during Star News Group’s Unblock the Gridlock campaign, urging both factions of politics to commit to solving Pakenham’s traffic puzzle.
Racecourse Road remains at the forefront of readers’ nominated congestion hotspots, alongside McGregor Road and Clyde Road.
