Dead End
Seen next to a cemetery in Coventry, Rhode Island, June 2007. They’re not kidding when they say “Dead End.”
(See also Dead end… no U-Turns… on Sam’s blog.)
What is “From the Road?” At the beginning of every month we will share a thought provoking (if sometimes silly) quote, photo, or humorous moment with you. We may draw from a variety of sources (signs, brochures or conversations), but they will all have one thing in common—they entered our lives because we are on the road.
“Dead end” seems to be a regional expression. In the West, at least in California, the sign would say “Not a through street.”
Hi Russell,
Good to hear from you! That’s funny about CA signs. Tucson is such a strange mix that we not only have “Dead End” and “Not a through street” we also have “No Outlet”.
