This roadway is a place to meet (6)
I believe the answer is:
avenue
'this roadway' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a place to meet' is the wordplay.
'place to meet' becomes 'venue' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'venue'='AVENUE'
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "A broad thoroughfare as in New York" , "Wide street or path to progress" , "A line of approach" , "Wide and handsome street" , "Means of approach" .)
