Crossword Genius

Setter barking shows the way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

street

'the way' is the definition.
(street is a kind of way)

'setter barking' is the wordplay.
'barking' indicates an anagram (UK slang for mad).
'setter' anagrammed gives 'STREET'.

'shows' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Urban thoroughfare" , "Built-up road" , "Road lined with houses" , "Urban road" , "Form of theatre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
