1. Dead end
A dead-end road is a road that does not provide a through route for some or all vehicles. It may end completely, terminate at a barrier or continue as a path that only certain road users may use.
Drivers may normally enter a dead-end road to reach homes, businesses, parking places or other destinations, but they must be prepared to turn around or leave by the same route. Signs may indicate that pedestrians or cyclists can continue beyond the point where motor traffic cannot.
What does a dead-end indication mean in Greece?
Greek dead-end information describes a road with no through route in the indicated direction. It does not replace the separate signs that restrict access to particular vehicles.

Can pedestrians or cyclists continue beyond a motor-traffic dead end in Greece?
Check the actual continuation and any pedestrian or cycle indications. Do not assume that all users must turn back, or that every path at the end permits cycling.

Does a dead-end indication change speed or priority rules in Greece?
The no-through information itself does not assign junction priority or a numerical speed limit. Continue to obey the actual speed, access, parking and priority controls. If you need to turn around, use a suitable lawful place, check for pedestrians and cyclists, and do not obstruct the space needed for other vehicles to turn.
