At least two, maybe all three, of those photos are from Norway.

But yeah, we have the same word. I do believe the fact that our trains have "slutstation" to be funnier.

    Left one is Norwegian. E55 and E47 are not in Norway, but in Sweden and Denmark (Also would be "fartskontroll" in Norwegian). Max is spelt "maks" in Norwegian (Also it would be a compound word "maksfart"). It is possible that the two images on the right are fake, though.

    i think they're danish. sweden never uses "fart" to denote speed on signage, instead opting for "hastighet", and we also just use an image of a camera on the speed control sign.

    It's not the fart that kills you. It's the smell

    Fart is speed Smell is impact

    i don't know swedish at all but: in german there is the word "Fahrt" which may be understood as journey, but may also be used in a phrase like "wir machen zwölf Knoten Fahrt" (our speed is twelve knots).

    I will never tire of telling Americans that to a lot of British people, "President Trump" sounds like "President Fart", and that it makes no sense that you would elect someone called that, even if they weren't stupid, senile, shit their pants in public and batshit crazy.

    It's really important to fartkontrol when you go to the slutstation.

    I first discovered "Fart kontrol" when driving in Denmark in Euro truck sim 2. That was an amusing moment.

    I fart, her til, mein teil.

    what does it mean in this context? It looks like the emergency stop button, what does it have to do with speed?

    Probably 3/3 Norwegian signs as mentioned.

    Usually, in the context of traffic, the word 'Hastighet' would be used, which roughly works out to be 'Hastiness' in English.

    Not like English doesn't have words that mean funny in other languages 🤷‍♂️

    I found a Swedish candy at World Market called Skum Bananer. I'm going to be calling bananas "banan/bananer" for a long time.

    The polish word for luck is either "szczęście" or the more casual "fart"
