I believe the answer is:

zebra crossing

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

'pedestrian zone' is the definition.
I know that 'pedestrian' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'move swiftly around english supporter with ford' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'move' could be 'crossing' (crossing is a kind of move) and 'crossing' is found within the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'supporter' could be 'bra' (a bra gives support to breasts) and 'bra' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'z' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.
