This kind of crossing could be in place (7)
I believe the answer is:
pelican
'this kind of crossing' is the definition.
'pelican' can be an answer for 'crossing' (pelican crossing is a type of road crossing). I am not sure about the 'this kind of' bit.
'could be in place' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'place'='inplace'
'inplace' with letters rearranged gives 'PELICAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pelican that I've seen before include "Large-billed waterbird" , "Aquatic bird with pouch" , "Long-billed waterbird" , "Large-pouched bird" , "Large water bird" .)
