Rome: site designed for pedestrian (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiresome

'for pedestrian' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rome site designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' is an anagram indicator (designed with the letters).
'rome'+'site'='romesite'
'romesite' is an anagram of 'TIRESOME'.

(Other definitions for tiresome that I've seen before include "'Tedious, irksome (8)'" , "Fatiguing, tedious" , "Tedious, dull" , "Rather boring" , "irritating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
