Redesign bridleways after ignoring clear local rules (3-4)

I believe the answer is:

bye-laws

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'local rules' is the definition.
'bye laws' can be an answer for 'rules' (bye law is a kind of rule). I am not sure about the 'local' bit.

'redesign bridleways after ignoring clear' is the wordplay.
'redesign' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'redesigns' mean this).
'after ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'clear' becomes 'rid' (synonyms).
'bridleways' with 'rid' taken out is 'bleways'.
'bleways' with letters rearranged gives 'BYE-LAWS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bye-laws that I've seen is " Supplementary regulations".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
