Meaning of Dead End Sign

Dead end signs are designed to let the driver know the path they are on ends in a dead end or cul-de-sac. These signs are usually posted at the entrance of a road or street. When encountering the dead end sign, drivers should be aware that the street they are on will not be connected to another street.

Location

This sign is often found at the beginning of a dead-end road.

Heads-ups

  • Dead end signs are placed at the beginning of a dead end road or road ending in a cul-de-sac.
  • Drivers will have to find a new route if they want to access a different road when seeing a dead end sign.
  • Drivers should slow down on dead end roads because they may be approaching the end of the road at any time.
