Beaverton, Oregon, in all their wisdom, likes to post roads as "DEAD END" or "NO OUTLET" when it clearly does have an outlet, just not for motor vehicles. It's rather annoying if you're not closely familiar with a part of town and trying to follow someone else's directions, since NO OUTLET means you're about to go enter a pocket neighborhood of nothing but dead end streets, and DEAD END terminates, not always with a cul-de-sac. It's one of the many little things that it so I can't wait to GTFO of Oregon again.
