street

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

'good man' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'shrub within road' is the wordplay.
'shrub' becomes 'tree' (I have seen 'Large shrub ' mean 'tree' so perhaps 'shrub' could also mean 'tree').
'within' indicates putting letters inside.
'road' becomes 'st'.
'tree' put within 'st' is 'STREET'.

'finds' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Town thoroughfare" , "Built-up road" , "Tester in public road" , "Part of motorist's route" , "Town road" .)
