Seems a bit racist and xenophobic to me, not to mention the undermining of the societal trust that is required for warning signs to work at all.

Yea especially when tourists often don't know about the local risks. Warning signs are mostly for people who aren't from a particular area

Don't want a 'boy who cried wolf' situation
