My first advice is to ensure they are zoned to have a business in their house. if not than they are not legally entitled to this. Secondly if the traffic is driving at much to high a speed you can call the police to see if they can offer you any advice as to monitoring or maybe putting in speed bumps.
You also need to look at the terms of the contract you have regarding the easment to deal with repairs. That should set forth who is responsible for what. If it does not you really cannot force them to repair things as it is their choice unless it is dangerous than that becomes another issue
If you really cannot remedy this on your own you should consult a local attorney and ask if they can do anything, sometimes even a letter from an attorney can help solve a problem like this
