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

'arch away' is the definition.
'camber' can be an answer for 'arch' (cambering is a kind of arching). I am not sure about the 'away' bit.

'cold light on the road' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'cold' could be 'c' (eg on taps) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'light' could be 'amber' (I've seen this before) and 'amber' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
