Road notice maybe. A job for a painter (10)

I believe the answer is:

decoration

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

'a job for a painter' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'road notice maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'road'+'notice'='roadnotice'
'roadnotice' with letters rearranged gives 'DECORATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decoration that I've seen before include "Star" , "Adornment - medal" , "Ornaments - medal" , "award" , "Medal; ornament" .)

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