[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a house on a residential street off of Mass Ave in Bethesda where the owner but up a posts and a chain across the bottom of the driveway. Apparently people kept thinking that street cut through to River Road, then once they realized it didn’t would use that driveway to turn around.[/quote]

Our second house is in a similar situation, but at the end of an L-shaped cul-de-sac so it isn't obvious that the end of the street is the end until it's too late. It got really bad in the years after the pandemic. We live one streets away from a state park with mountain/snow access but connections are bad in the area, so people's GPS readings often lagged. It took us a while to realize that people were turning onto our street thinking they were at the state park entrance.

We put a lot of cones out in the street if the kids are out playing and let our scary dog stand on the balcony. There isn't much else you can do. Even when I warned them, there were still people who would just park and try to walk through people's yards (they'd give up because the snow was too deep).

Our regular house is at a true dead end, and no amount of signage or dead end signs or reflectors will convince people that it is indeed a dead end until they're inches from the end of the street.[/quote]
