snowplough

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

'road' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'clearer today parking in berkshire town' is the wordplay.
'clearer today' becomes 'now' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'clearer' bit.).
'parking' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'berkshire town' becomes 'slough' (I've seen this before).
'now'+'p'='nowp'
'nowp' going into 'slough' is 'SNOWPLOUGH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snowplough that I've seen before include "Winter road clearer" , "Vehicle seen in bad weather" , "move to stop slide?" , "Winter vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
