Reach the broken gate at the road junction (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get at

'reach' is the definition.
(I know that get at is a more specific form of the action reach)

'broken gate at the road junction' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'the road junction' becomes 'T' (T-junction is a type of road junction).
'gate' with letters rearranged gives 'geta'.
'geta'+'t'='GET AT'

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for get at that I've seen before include "Reach - mean - attack verbally" , "Criticise (someone)" , "Intend" , "Nobble; gain access to" , "Pick on - gain access to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
