Dead-end streets are common in residential neighborhoods here in Nashville, TN, USA. Older parts of the city, pre-World-War-II, are mostly laid out in grid patterns, but the majority of post-World-War-II Nashville (which is to say about 80% of the city) was built one subdivision at a time. Each subdivision is laid out in a tree pattern, with many dead-end streets off of a few major roads. The radial roads generally date back to when this was farmland. As a result, you sometimes have to drive a couple of miles in order to reach a destination only a few hundred feet from your starting point. Some of these dead-end roads have turning circles at their end, some don't. As far as I know, most don't have a noexit=yes tag. -- John F.
