Excellent to receive love in street (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

road

'in street' is the definition.
(I know that street has part or parts road)

'excellent to receive love' is the wordplay.
'excellent' becomes 'rad' (slang term).
'to receive' indicates putting letters inside.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'rad' enclosing 'o' is 'ROAD'.

(Other definitions for road that I've seen before include "Highway or byway" , "Abbey -, Beatles album" , "course" , "See 10" , "See 2" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
