A minor route overseas (6)

I believe the answer is:

abroad

'overseas' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a minor route' is the wordplay.
'minor route' becomes 'b road' (B-road).
'a'+'broad'='ABROAD'

(Other definitions for abroad that I've seen before include "to France, maybe" , "Europe, for example" , "Stare lecherously at (someone)" , "out of UK?" , "Pole would be so" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
