Description
A metal chain-link fence spans across a paved street, blocking vehicle access. A yellow diamond traffic sign and a white printed notice are attached to the fence. Beyond the fence, a tree-lined residential street with houses is visible, though the area appears unmaintained, with tall grass and overgrown vegetation. Power lines run parallel to the street, and the overall scene conveys a sense of abandonment or restricted access.
