Obvious means of keeping the traffic flowing? (8)
I believe the answer is:
clearway
'keeping the traffic flowing?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'obvious means' is the wordplay.
'obvious' becomes 'clear' (similar in meaning).
'means' becomes 'way' (a way or means of doing something).
'clear'+'way'='CLEARWAY'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clearway that I've seen before include "area where you can't stop" , "Road where motorists may not stop" , "where one must keep going" , "Stopping is not allowed on this road" , "No parking on it during certain hours" .)
