What is cul de sac?

A cul-de-sac, also known as a dead-end street, is a street with only one inlet/outlet. One end of the street is closed, typically with a rounded end, which may be landscaped.

Key features of a cul-de-sac include:

• Limited Traffic: Reduced through traffic leads to safer conditions for pedestrians and children playing.
• Increased Privacy: Fewer cars passing by offers more privacy for residents.
• Community Feel: The layout often encourages a stronger sense of community among residents.
• Property Values: Homes located on cul-de-sacs can sometimes command higher property values due to the desirable qualities mentioned above.
• Design Considerations: The turnaround at the end is designed to allow vehicles to easily turn around. There are design considerations like street drainage.
