The most important thing is to communicate. Grammar and vocabulary are secondary as long as it gets the message across. "Be careful don't be stupid falling off cliff" and "Please stand back from the railing." The first is just my made up example, but describes quite well the type of sign talked about. It is quite clear, while the second one represents a normal English sign which is not so clear. A native can easily understand either.
