Noticing the traffic has been stopped, cross (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
seeing red
'has been stopped cross' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'noticing the traffic' is the wordplay.
'noticing' becomes 'seeing' (I've seen this before).
'the traffic' becomes 'red' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'seeing'+'red'='SEEING RED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for seeing red that I've seen is " angry".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
