Ways one may be so far ahead? (7)
I believe the answer is:
streets
'ways' is the definition.
(I know this)
'one may be so far ahead?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'may' could be 'tree' (I've seen this before) and 'tree' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sts' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for streets that I've seen before include "significantly ahead?" , "Ways" , "City thoroughfares" , "Built-up roads" , "Town thoroughfares" .)
