dead end sign

No through road

A dead end sign is a traffic sign indicating that a road terminates ahead with no through passage.

The sign warns drivers they'll need to turn around, typically placed at the entrance to streets that don't connect to other routes: We ignored the dead end sign and had to back out of someone's driveway.
