Smooths some road sides and mingles with others (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
rubs shoulders
I'm afraid I can't explain this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rubs shoulders that I've seen is " Comes into contact with, physically or metaphorically".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
