A more typical design around here is to have the cul-de-sac adjacent to
a main road. Frequently there's a small greenbelt with a fence maintained
by the neighborhood association that separates the streets. It might
annoy pedestrians who want to cut through but it keeps the young kids from
running into heavy traffic.
