One cab's weird warning light (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beacon

'warning light' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one cab's weird' is the wordplay.
'weird' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'cab'='onecab'
'onecab' is an anagram of 'BEACON'.

(Other definitions for beacon that I've seen before include "Prominent light on a hill" , "Directional transmitter" , "Fire on a hill, lit as a signal" , "Guiding light?" , "Warning fire or signal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
