Makes slow progress by streetcar (7)
I believe the answer is:
strolls
'makes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strolls that I've seen before include "Takes a turn" , "Ambles" , "Walks" , "Saunters" .)
