Relaxes on streets (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rests

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

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

'on streets' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'streets' becomes 'sts' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'sts'='RESTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rests that I've seen before include "holidays" , "Musical pauses" , "Takes one's ease" , "Relaxes, sleeps" , "Pauses; relaxes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
