Only 47 of the dead ends are cul-de-sacs built to end. The rest are places where a through street was cut: 45 by a freeway, 51 by a rail line, 26 by bollards or a barrier, and 206 with nothing on the map to explain it, often a larger property that took over part of the grid.

Both sides of a divided road are one-way too, as are freeway frontage roads. They are left off: 190 miles of divided-road halves and 23 miles of frontage road would bury the actual one-way streets, mostly the downtown grid and the McKinney–Cole and Peak–Haskell pairs.

OpenStreetMap, November 2026. Streets are OSM primary to residential roads; service roads, alleys and driveways are not counted as streets. A dead end is a street end joined to no other street. Freeway and rail cuts are ends within 90 m of one; park, levee and water within 30 m. OSM is volunteer-mapped: if a point looks wrong, the OSM link in its popup lets anyone fix it. · download the data · geopen.io
