Sometimes the "Dead End" sign is out of date. In one case I know of, here in Nashville, TN, a pair of formerly dead-end streets were connected together to make a through street. The city promptly took down one of the "Dead End" signs, but left the other one in place for over a decade before finally removing it. -- John F.
