I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Informal sailor or road-surfacing material" , "Sticky road material or informal sailor" , "Road-making substance" , "Black substance, used on roads" , "Road-dressing for a sailor?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
