There can be a way that IS connected on both ends and still is a dead end.
A road can end in a wall or a fence, where on the other side the road
continues.
There may be other tags there (barrier=*), but still it would be hard to
quickly spot the dead end side with noexit=yes tagged only on the way
instead of the node.
