No through road

The road ahead is a dead end — no exit for vehicles.

Blue square, white vertical bar with red top bar

In plain English

You can drive in, but you can't get out the other side. The red bar across the top is the wall; the white stem is the road hitting it.

Where you'll see it

At the entrance to cul-de-sacs and residential closes.

The common trap

Mixing it up with no entry. No entry (red circle, white bar) bans you from entering at all. This one lets you in — it just warns the road goes nowhere.

Memory anchor

A T like a dead-end wall: the white road runs straight into the red bar and stops.
