Manage routes for taxis, perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

runways

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

'for taxis perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'manage routes' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'routes' becomes 'ways' (I've seen this in another clue).
'run'+'ways'='RUNWAYS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for runways that I've seen before include "Landing-strips for planes" , "Aircraft landing strips" , "Surfaces for planes to take off and land" , "See model on these" , "Airport zones" .)
