Crossword Genius

Direction of street beyond us (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

west

'direction' is the definition.
(compass direction)

'street beyond us' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'beyond' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'us' becomes 'we'.
'st' after 'we' is 'WEST'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for west that I've seen before include "Dog (from Argyll?)" , "One Direction" , "Colombian with brews (anag)" , "'Go ___ , young man'" , "English county" .)
