He goes by motorway for miles (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

les

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

'he' is the definition.

'by motorway for miles' is the wordplay.
'LES' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'goes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for les that I've seen before include "French definite article" , "French article; name" , "- Dawson, Br. comedian" , "Short boy or girl" , "-- Dawson (late comedian)" .)
