no through road

Path ends here

No through road is a sign or designation indicating a street that doesn't connect to another road at its far end—you must exit the way you came in.

The British equivalent of the American "dead end" or "no outlet." The phrase appears on road signs and in directions: Don't turn there—it's a no through road.
