'avoid' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'glance back to a street' is the wordplay.
'glance' becomes 'peek' (I have seen 'Furtive glance ' mean 'peek' so perhaps 'glance' could also mean 'peek').
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'street' becomes 'way' (road way).
'peek' back-to-front is 'keep'.
'keep'+'a'+'way'='KEEP AWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keep away that I've seen before include "Don't come near" , "Remain at a distance" .)
