Unfamiliar street limits (7)

I believe the answer is:

strange

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

'unfamiliar' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'street limits' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'limits' becomes 'range' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'st'+'range'='STRANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strange that I've seen before include "Surreal" , "- - Fruit (song)" , "Odd - rum" , "Foreign" , "Irregular" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
