Hello there!
What is the name of an alley which is not open from the other side? I guess something like one-way or a closed alley should be used.
Thanks,

In AmE you could hear "dead end" for both alleys, streets etc., but "blind alley" would also heard.

Hello teacher. Thank you. Writing short would cause ambiguity to us, learners. I think the extended form of your sentence is as follows or probably there is misunderstanding.

Thank you for your consideration.
