Most hare-brained guy meeting restrictions on entering street (9)
I believe the answer is:
scattiest
'most hare-brained' is the definition.
'guy meeting restrictions on entering street' is the wordplay.
'guy' becomes 'cat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'restrictions' becomes 'ties'.
'on entering' indicates putting letters inside.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'cat'+'ties'='catties'
'catties' placed into 'st' is 'SCATTIEST'.
(Another definition for scattiest that I've seen is " Most mindless".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
