Rest set out new ways (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

streets

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

'new ways' is the definition.
'streets' can be an answer for 'ways' (street is a kind of way). I am not certain of the 'new' bit.

'rest set out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rest'+'set'='restset'
'restset' with letters rearranged gives 'STREETS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for streets that I've seen before include "Town thoroughfares" , "Built-up roads" , "Avenues" , "Ways" , "significantly ahead?" .)
