Guidelines here laid down for moderate (6-2-3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

middle-of-the-road

(Other definitions for middle-of-the-road that I've seen before include "Safe" , "Avoiding extremes; moderate" , "Average" , "Unexciting" , "place for dangerous drivers?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
