Any decent router will totally ignore a noexit=yes tag as it determines the 
topology from the actual ways and how they are connected.

The noexit=yes tag serves only one purpose and has two different "data 
consumers": the next human mapper that comes along and automated QA tools. It 
allows those two data consumers to know that a way that ends close to another 
way but is not connected to it is not a mistake. For that purpose it should be 
on the node at the end of a way that is very close to but not touching another 
way.

I agree with Martin that if you wish to tag a street sign that says "no outlet" 
or "dead end", then put a node where the sign is and tag it with 
"traffic_sign=*".
