Ordinary regulation of train speed (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pedestrian

'ordinary' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'regulation of train speed' is the wordplay.
'regulation of' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'regulation' mean this).
'train'+'speed'='trainspeed'
'trainspeed' is an anagram of 'PEDESTRIAN'.

(Other definitions for pedestrian that I've seen before include "One walks around" , "Hiker" , "lame" , "Dull, uninspired" , "Boring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
