dead end roads, or lines in my network that only intersect once

Question

I have a road network and would like to be able to select all of my dead end roads, or roads that only intersect the network at one point.

Is there a way to query for these?

Here is an example: I hand selected some roads that only intersect with another road at one point.

Could you use Collect Events (Spatial Statistics) or Spatial Join (Analysis) to count the points at each location, then isolate locations that only have 1 point?

I used the Feature Vertices to Point tool, and selected dangling and it created a point at each endpoint.

In the screenshot it shows points at the end of each line, regardless of how many times the line intersects other lines. I labeled the intersections with numbers so the points highlighted in blue are on lines that have multiple intersections.

I will need to find another way to just select the lines that only have one intersection.

If for some reason that doesn't work out, you could create points at each startpoint and endpoint and then count (collect?) all the points at each intersection/point. If there are locations where there is only one point, then that would be a dead end. I don't recall all the geoprocessing tools that are needed, but that technique has worked for me in the past.
