I know this may come across as sexist beyond all measure and you may call me a chauvinistic pig after that, but I'll hazard a guess:
No women allowed.

People should keep their hair off their face in order to be able to see properly straight ahead and to both sides? :-)

Well, none of the above? Then, here is another guess:
The hairdo represented in the warning sign is a big fashion NO-NO around this area!

Please notice that I wrote 'people' in my first post, not 'women' or 'men', Tort... but enough said.
Actually, would 'misogynistic pig' work in this context too? :-D
Seriously though -- I would never dare calling you that!
On second thought, yes, yes I would, but I would be much more likely to say it to your face. :-P

I think it means
Don't let your head bandages drop over your eyes.

That's OK, as long as you don't sue me for saying that, as they are in the habit of doing in the US.
:)
Seriously though, the owner of that sign must have gotten some angry feedback already, because the sign does invoke that imagery, at least in my mind. Not a very good, politically-correct choice, maybe a sign that just reads "mind your hair" would be a better choice in this instance.
Lol.

Health & Safety notices like road signs are frequently for people who don't speak the local lingo hence the pictures.
