Cryptic setter's ways (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

streets

'ways' is the definition.
(street is a kind of way)

'cryptic setter's' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' indicates an anagram (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'setters' anagrammed gives 'STREETS'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
