Here in the foothills, there should be a lot of “YOU CAN’T GET THERE FROM HERE” SIGNS. The streets follow the lay of the land, which means long, curving, meandering routes that never hook up to any main road. Crazy-making for newcomers.
A cul-de-sac is not a dead end. The road circles around so you can just drive back out. With a dead end, you have to turn your car around to get back out, by making a Uie or a Y-turn.

And every house we move to near the ATL, we always have one.

Signage on the streets: YMMV, but I found in the far west it was “Not a Thru Street” and in New England, “Dead End.”

Around here it’s “No Outlet.” I always wonder how they plug things in!

In my parts of the woods, “Dead End” means a street that abruptly ends (flat). “Cul-de-sac” refers to a street that has a circle at the end.

Developers use the term “cul-de-sac” too. But then I suppose they (we?) are part of the real estate industry.
