Way good man has caught plane, for example? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

street

'way' is the definition.
(I know that way can be written as street)

'good man has caught plane for example?' is the wordplay.
'good man' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for saint).
'has caught' is an insertion indicator.
'plane for example?' becomes 'tree' (plane is a type of tree).
'st' going around 'tree' is 'STREET'.

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Built-up road" , "Public road in a conurbation" , "Urban road" , "City road" , "- Arab; - light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
