| Annotation | Older people should not be stigmatised as being impaired or disabled. The authors had observed that some countries did not depict older people in this way, and wondered how road signs world wide illustrate older people as well as those with disabilities. They summarise the results of their requests to British missions abroad for pictures, photographs or other images of road signs that warned about older people, deaf people, blind people, or those with any other physical disability.
