'right' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'if clued cars turn here this could be about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'clued' is 'culde' which is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cul-de-sac that I've seen before include "closed-off area" , "Road with only one entrance-exit" , "Dead end" , "Such a road leads nowhere" , "Dead-end street" .)
