Is learner driver also in pedestrian area? (6)

I believe the answer is:

island

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

'pedestrian area?' is the definition.
'island' can be an answer for 'area?' (island is a kind of area). I'm not sure about the 'pedestrian' bit.

'is learner driver also' is the wordplay.
'learner driver' becomes 'l' (I've seen this in other clues).
'also' becomes 'and' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'l'+'and'='ISLAND'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for island that I've seen before include "Land mass surrounded by water" , "Place surrounded by water" , "Sumatra, say" , "Lewis and Harris, possibly" , "Crete, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
