Cool, but I'm not convinced that the deciding factor is whether the street is "dead end" or not vs. it just being a really minor street. There's at least one dead end street in the examples that is pretty thick: https://skitch.com/kadavy/r8iie/41latitude-google-maps-doesnt-want-to-lead-you-down-any-dead-ends https://skitch.com/kadavy/r8iie/41latitude-google-maps-doesn...

- kadavy 16y agoThere are plenty of other streets on that map that end the same way, but are thinner.
