The the road sign is now misleading, but the information you were given, was not.
As this appears to be an estate still in development then the roads are probably still private, not yet adopted so the sign can mean whatever the builder wants it to mean.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

It is usually pretty obvious what the developers future intention is because they leave a gap at the end of the cul-de-sac, otherwise you can be sure they would have stuck another house on it.
No come back, just bad luck.0 -
No its not. No through road does not necessarily mean a cul-de-sac.
As this appears to be an estate still in development then the roads are probably still private, not yet adopted so the sign can mean whatever the builder wants it to mean.
And even if adopted, it would be accurate for as long as the road doesn't actually lead anywhere.0 -
You can normally tell because they will advise you that you have a ransom strip in your garden if it is likely that they will develop behind your house.0
