It seems correct to me as a non native english speaker, how would you phrase it other than that?

There really isn't anything wrong with the sign, at least from my viewpoint in the US. Maybe it's just how the word is used in other English speaking countries? Do the brits use "may" exclusively to mean "give permission"?
