How does your city or state sign the end of a street or road?

NYC uses warning signs with the word END.

I think he means signage at the dead end of a road.  This is the way NCDOT District 7 typically does it.

There's also a brand new one on South Third Street Extension in Mebane, which is a letter perfect example.  However, GSV hasn't caught up and actually shows this weird arrangement from the early days while the NC-119 Bypass was just under construction.  (By the way, GSV has made a mess of the street arrangements here.  The west side of South Third Street Extension was rerouted to meet up with a new South Fifth Street Extension just south of here.  South Third Street was rerouted to meet NC-119 Bypass just north of here.  And the piece of the old South Third Street on the west side of NC-119 Bypass has been removed.  All of which leaves this funeral home and equipment rental company at the end of a dead end street, when they originally bought their respective properties right next to what was planned to have been a major intersection when the new bypass came through).

My town, and really my state in general, has few of such signs.

Per OTM Book 6 (Warning Signs), Ontario uses the Wa-8 Checkerboard sign:

Yes the end of a street not the end of a numbered route

That being the case, Monroe County, Florida had its own brand of this for segments of the 1928 Overseas Highway.  This ne in particular is on Little Torch Key:

In my part of New Jersey roads usually don't say anything special at the end point. There will just be a "No Outlet" at the final intersection that leads somewhere (very few "Dead End" signs for some reason). If the road is a bit larger there may be a "Road Ends 500 feet" or similar advance sign.

The only place I know of in NJ that has some kind of markings at the dead end is this. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6249151,-74.3075855,3a,19.2y,122.51h,75.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sglade31DiGfL_cag2iLUGQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Dglade31DiGfL_cag2iLUGQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D89.187%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu
And iut's a one-off. Neighboring roads cut off by the Garden State Parkway have nothing like that.
