Typically pedestrian ways of being progressive (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaits

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

'typically pedestrian ways' is the definition.
'gaits' can be an answer for 'ways' (I have seen 'Ways of walking ' mean 'gaits' so perhaps 'ways' could also mean 'gaits'). I am unsure of the 'typically pedestrian' bit.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for gaits that I've seen is " Ways of walking".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
