Deadend streets are also known as cul-de-sacs, blind alleys, or no-through roads. These types of streets have no outlet or exit, which makes them less popular among drivers. Cul-de-sacs or "bottom of the bag" streets are common in residential areas, and they discourage speeding and through traffic, which makes them more popular for families with children. Blind alleys or dead alleys are usually located in industrial areas and are used as spurs for industrial or commercial buildings. No-through roads, on the other hand, are often used in rural areas to provide access to small communities or homes, where roads often end at the property line.
