Avoid turning up in named avenue (5)
I believe the answer is:
evade
'avoid' is the definition.
(evading is a kind of avoiding)
'turning up in named avenue' is the wordplay.
'turning up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'edave' is hidden in the letters of 'named avenue'.
'edave' backwards is 'EVADE'.
(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Dodge, steer clear of" , "Slyly escape" , "Keep away from" , "Dodge - prevaricate" , "Dodge, duck" .)
