Stop...Ahead

One afternoon, Ronald was driving his family and a few friends to a party. He did not know the neighborhood very well, so he tried his best to find the location with limited directions of where to go. Luckily, there was no other car behind him as he was driving on one particular street, because he came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. Everyone looked at him curiously. Then his wife, sitting in the passenger seat, asked him why he stopped. He responded by pointing to the road and reading the four-letter word, “Stop.” All the passengers began to laugh out loud. After wondering why they were laughing at him, his wife pointed out the word, “Ahead” that was only a few feet after “Stop” on the road. Ronald did not want to be the designated driver after the party.
