ULPT: If you see a sign that says ‘No Thru Way,’ it’s code for ‘This Is A Shortcut!’

This also often works for people's signs saying no beach access! They usually don't want people parking in their neighborhood, but there is almost always a trail to the beach!

my dentist moved out of a house on the beach in my hometown because he kept finding human shit in his yard, i think parking is fairly low priority on the list of reasons people wanna keep mostly drunk beach goers out of their yard

I get that drunk people will probably piss in the yard, but anybody that shits in the yard is just straight up feral

The ONLY way I could understand this was if his wife or child was like actively dying at the hospital. Obviously he didn't know he'd be going into a parade route, but I couldn't imagine how someone would be doing that otherwise... Right? Surely it's not just cause some exits were blocked off?

Yeah, no thanks. I’m not going to watch some worst case scenario road rage video, and here’s why: there’s an inherent risk in any ULPT, and additionally, it’s all in your attitude. Pretend you’re lost, do the little sorry wave, and move on. There’s an LPT if you get busted doing this ULPT.

Yeah, some places didn’t like the phrase “dead end” so they made it “not a thru way”, which means…It doesn’t go thru…. But yeah, by all means OP, keep going down dead ends because it’s a shortcut.

I think you mean dead ends, no thru traffic means it does go thru but they want to discourage using it for that.

These signs are up around me usually going into a neighborhood or development. I know that is the only way in or out of the place since I've lived in the area all my life. It's probably just handled differently in other areas.

Nah, that wouldn’t say no thru way, it would say bridge closed. Road signs are pretty specific. No thru way means that there is a thru way, however it is not exactly legal to take it.

So, I don't know any where you live but here 'No thru way' means the same thing as no exit, just a longer road before you hit the dead end And it will hit a dead end, if you're lucky there will be space to turn around.

When I got a motorcycle, I was riding it for fun in the neighborhood. I came across what was once a through road, but was turned into a dead end with just a sidewalk and some posts to prevent cars from jumping the sidewalk. Needless to say, I got yelled at by the local Karen as I rode away.

It’s a gamble but sometimes it does pay off if it’s a route that you take on the regular. Most the time it’s a dead end and a pain to turn around on. I have discovered a nice alley shortcut with mostly businesses on the other side. I’m betting it’s because if there is a back door delivery then there isn’t a way thru because barely enough room for a vehicle.. I have not run into an issue yet but I always take it around 4 pm.

We had a sign on our road that said “no thru trucks”. I lived in Kentucky on the side of a mountain/hill and the whole was about a car and a half wide. Every so often bigass vans and semis would try to go down the road only to find that the curve further down the hill was too sharp and that if they took the curve they’d literally roll down the side of the hill and probably die. I would park my car right at the entrance to my drive way so the people in traffic wouldn’t turn around in my driveway. Was a good time.

There’s a road on the way to visit my fiancées parents (normally an 8 minute drive, construction turned it to almost 20) they have it torn up for one reason or another. They have signs that say No Thru Way. If you try to go through, you’ll end up in a 10 foot deep hole. I don’t think that’s a shortcut.
