Dead end, but I didn't learn it in H.S. French. While driving and hitting dead ends, I finally figured it out!

There are all kinds of definitions for it on the web. I liked this one:  

1. 
   

   cul, cul de sac, dead end(noun)

   
   

   a passage with access only at one end

   
   


2. 
   

   blind alley, cul de sac, dead-end street, impasse(noun)

   
   

   a street with only one way in or out

I looked up "cul de sac" in WIKIPEDIA, and this is the first paragraph, which doesn't even MENTION the French language!

A cul-de-sac /?k?ld?sæk/, dead end (British, Canadian, American, South African English, and Australian English), closed, no through road (British, Canadian, and Australian English), no exit (New Zealand English) or court (Australian English) is a street with only one inlet/outlet. While historically built for other reasons, one of its modern uses is to calm vehicle traffic.

Round here it is a dead end, but with a turn around at the end kinda like looking at a stick pin the straight part as the road and the head as the turn around..
