Stationary in street, meeting a jerk (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

static

'stationary' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'street meeting a jerk' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'meeting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'jerk' becomes 'tic' (I've seen this before).
'st'+'a'+'tic'='STATIC'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for static that I've seen before include "it can shock and > ruin the reception" , "Inactive, motionless" , "Not active or moving" , "showing no signs of going anywhere" , "fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
