Identifies cul-de-sac or blind alleys, which are defined like this:

 

Position yourself in a node and drive in one direction using link A. If you can't get back to the same node without using the same link A again, it is a cul-de-sac.

 

If you however can come back without making a U-turn, it is a bridge in graph theory terms: If the link was missing, the network would be split into 2 components or subnets.
