Like the street of no return (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one way

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'street of no return' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'street' could be 'way' (road way) and 'way' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for one way that I've seen before include "getting no comeback?" , "Perhaps unrequited" , "permitting no U-turn" , "Description of certain roads" .)
