I do it as well, but any that have a bulbous (larger) end I don't.
termination=flat for dead end
termination=wide for larger areas
termination=parking? I've seen these in plenty of council estates
(and for those that don't go for the details, tee, y, etc?)

For very large areas, I've actually done a circle of segments but 
haven't tagged it to say its enclosed.
