Walk a short way and turn (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stroll

'walk' is the definition.
(I know that stroll is a type of walk)

'a short way and turn' is the wordplay.
'a short way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street; 'short' asks for a short form).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'turn' becomes 'roll' (rolling is a kind of turning).
'st'+'roll'='STROLL'

(Other definitions for stroll that I've seen before include "Promenade" , "swan" , "Meander" , "Amble along" , "cinch" .)

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