“The traffic flow and congestion is a huge impact. At peak time it can take me 30 minutes for a usual 10 minute trip because of that road.”
“End result will hopefully be marvellous, it's just all the work stages in between that seem to be bothersome…”
“It’s really needed. Traffic is heavy during peak hour it takes forever to get out of Pakenham and onto to the freeway”
“So much growth in Pakenham...anything that reduces the congestion on the freeway during the evening peak will be beneficial”
“Traffic should flow better with the sky rail completion too. Traffic coming off the freeway is becoming scary and banking up on the side of the road to avoid accidents. Traffic lights on McGregor need to be interactive to change to meet increased flow off the freeway.”
“Roundabout to traffic lights has been needed for years. Will make a huge difference to traffic congestion which impacts travel time.”
“Again, it’s been super challenging to get in and out of Pakenham and feel it’s the biggest negative of living here. Can’t wait for this to get started!”
“Having footpaths along Racecourse Road will be fantastic as there isn't a safe way to walk down currently. The extra lanes and lights will also significantly improve congestion which has been getting busier since we moved here.”
“Traffic is impossible from Highway to Bald Hill Rd. Lack of proper footpaths.”
“Don’t upgrade the roads at the same time. There are many other works currently being completed at the same time in the Pakenham area and it is incredibly challenging to get around Pakenham. These works should have been completed 2 decades ago, they can wait a little longer if it means they are completed consecutively.”
