Caught traffic light on curve in the road (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camber

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

'curve in the road' is the definition.
'camber' can be an answer for 'curve' (I have seen 'Curve of road ' mean 'camber' so perhaps 'curve' could also mean 'camber'). I am not sure about the 'in the road' bit.

'caught traffic light on' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'traffic light' becomes 'amber' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'c'+'amber'='CAMBER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camber that I've seen before include "Convex shape of road surface" , "may appear on road" , "Slope on road surface" , "Road surface curvature" , "Slight upward curve in road, wing etc" .)
