死胡同, 尽头路
a street with no exit, closed at one end
A dead end is a road or street that does not lead to another road or path. It is a street that ends without any way to continue driving forward, forcing drivers to turn around and go back the way they came. Dead ends are typically found in residential areas or at the ends of neighborhoods, and they often create a quieter environment because they do not have passing traffic. These roads may be designed for limited access or to reduce traffic in certain areas.
