Teams on plane perhaps with time to find less congested path (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
side street
'find less congested path' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'teams on plane perhaps with time' is the wordplay.
'teams' becomes 'sides' (eg football sides).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'plane perhaps' becomes 'tree' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'sides'+'tree'+'t'='SIDE STREET'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for side street that I've seen before include "Minor thoroughfare" , "small way" .)
