I had just sort of assumed that 'no outlet' was Connecticut-speak for the 'dead end' usage in New Jersey, until I noticed both signs, from locations only a mile or so apart, in a recent walkabout. I've seen both signs many other places, but wasn't paying attention to whether they coexisted or were either/or.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-51244008879628055632010-12-02T08:42:02.489-05:002010-12-02T08:42:02.489-05:00Carl, actually I think there is a difference.

I am not sure that this usage is consistent, and in practical terms this distinction is probably meaningless, but making meaningless distinctions is one of the things I do best.Edd Fullerhttp://photography-in-place.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
