Ordinary location of jaywalker? (6-2-3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

middle-of-the-road

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

'ordinary' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'location of jaywalker?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'location' could be 'middle' (middle is a kind of location) and 'middle' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for middle-of-the-road that I've seen before include "Unexciting" , "Average" , "place for dangerous drivers?" , "Avoiding extremes; moderate" , "Safe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
