(CNN) New Zealand's transport authority will scrap a sexist road sign after a seven-year-old girl complained that they indicated only men could work on roadside power lines.

Zoe Carew raised the issue after seeing "Lineman" signs warning that power cables were being modified or fixed, pointing out that women could be doing the job.

"I think this sign is wrong and unfair. Do you agree?" Carew wrote in a letter to Fergus Gammie, the chief executive of New Zealand's Transport Agency (NZTA)

So proud of my 7yo. She recently wrote to the NZTA CE asking that they replace the 'Lineman' sign with something more "correct and fair" bc "women can be line-workers too". The CE agreed and now NZTA is developing a new Line Crew sign. High 5s all round! 😍 pic.twitter.com/lam5tciZ2u — Caitlin Carew (@greeniecaitlin) July 30, 2018

She asked for a change in the signs to say "LINE-WORKERS" or "something correct and fair like that".
