If there's not, the driver might have no idea he should not venture down your street and should not be held totally responsible except that he should have known his truck well enough to know he couldn't negotiate the circle. At that point he should have backed his truck out with the help of Community Watch, preferably.
If there is a "Dead End" sign, then it was the truck drivers fault pure and simple for not assessing the situation properly.

I'm afraid that I will have to respectfully disagree that the driver should not be held totally responsible. There may be extenuating circumstance that could be considered by a Judge should he be issued a traffic ticket, but when he (or any of us for that matter) gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, he is totally responsible for any movement of that vehicle that is within his control or should be within his control. A presence or lack thereof of a sign at the beginning of the street in question has no relevence! I believe you will find that the courts would most likely agree with or uphold what I've stated!
