In Siena, deserted bypass shortly leads to Tuscan address? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

signora

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

'in siena' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'deserted bypass shortly leads to tuscan address?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'address?' could be 'sign' (address is a kind of sign) and 'sign' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for signora that I've seen before include "Young lady" , "Title of Italian-speaking woman" , "wife on the Continent" , "Italian married title" , "Italian equivalent of madam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
