Dead End Sign

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

What it means

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.

Heads Up

  • 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.
