In the US, intersections and the upcoming yield, stop or traffic light are not only announced by signs to the right of the street but also with big letters painted on streets. You read the word that is closer to you first, followed by the one that is further away. So for example, STOP AHEAD or LIGHTS AHEAD. Not Ahead Stop, but that will not work either: SOTP AHEAD.

ALTERNATIVE SPELLING or TYPO AHEAD would have been appropriate to prepare thin-skinned people. Well, as Metroblogging LA put it, SIHT HAPPENS, right?
