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 Russia?
Russian Тупик information identifies a road without a through route. It is separate from the signs prohibiting entry or restricting particular traffic.
Dead end street.
English • Traffic sign 6.8.1 • Dead-end road. The road has no through passage.

Can pedestrians or cyclists continue beyond a motor-traffic dead end in Russia?
Read the actual path continuation and access controls. A pedestrian connection does not create a right to drive past the road end or barrier.
Does a dead-end indication change speed or priority rules in Russia?
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.
