Sort of artist in a way using flags? (8)
I believe the answer is:
pavement
'sort of artist in a way' is the definition.
'pavement' can be an answer for 'way' (pavement is a kind of way). I am unsure of the 'sort of artist in a' bit.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pavement that I've seen before include "Path at the side of a road" , "Pedestrians' path" , "Walkway by road" , "Way" , "Raised footway by road" .)
