Cranbourne West/Clyde - Pros and cons of living there?

Yes. I would.

I used to live in Narre Warren South. So ~5km north/north-west of Cranny and Clyde etc. From 2010-2014.

Traffic is beyond frustrating. The problem is the planners have left all sorts of big wide road reservations for future arterials and cross suburb connections but only about 30% of it is actually built.

There are no rat runs, because modern day urban design is to force all traffic out of housing estates onto "main roads." Except the "main roads" are still single carriageways with one lane each way. There are hardly any roads that cross the suburbs in an east-west direction. Only Thompsons road is fully duplicated. Berwick Cranbourne road is too small and glasscocks road is in broken segments so it doesn't actually provide an East-west connection. Even though it's meant to be a major route by now.

And before people start saying "more roads aren't the answer we need more PT"

The current road network is probably only 1/2 the capacity of the road system that traverses the region around FTG/Boronia/Bayswater but there are even more people. So work that one out.
