Fun story, I grew up on an incredibly steep street which dead ends - it gets too steep - and then continues again at the top of the hill.

Well, one edition of some Thomas Guide had this street connecting.

Every 5 or so years, some poor, poor, truck driver would get stuck on the hill, and need to carefully reverse down this tiny street and its ridiculous hill. One year, a giant semi hauling glass windows got stuck at the top of the dead end. He was unable to reverse, and so we had to call every neighbor to move their cars off of the hill to give the driver room to turn around. Took most of the day.
