Property Terminology :- A Cul- De- Sac!

A 'cul-de-sac' is a street or road that is closed at one end, forming a dead end.

It is a French term that means "bottom of the bag," referring to the shape of the street, which typically ends in a circular or t-shaped turnaround. Cul-de-sacs are often used in residential neighbourhoods as a way to reduce traffic and create a sense of community. They can also be used to improve safety by limiting the number of places where vehicles can enter and exit the neighbourhood
