The ways of country folk (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lanes

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

'the ways' is the definition.
(lane is a kind of way)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lanes that I've seen before include "Narrow tracks or paths" , "Country roads" , "Narrow roads or road divisions" , "Leans into narrow roads" , "Tracks for traffic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
