Street guide for one unfamiliar with the area? (8)

I believe the answer is:

stranger

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

'one unfamiliar with the area?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'street guide' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'guide' becomes 'ranger' (I've seen this before).
'st'+'ranger'='STRANGER'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stranger that I've seen before include "More odd or weird" , "More odd or unknown" , "More unfamiliar or odd" , "The unknown one is more unusual" , "Truth can be ... than fiction" .)
