Average White Band on track? (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!

'average' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'white band on track?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'band' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'track?' could be 'road' (track is a kind of road) and 'road' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

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