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

          You must like to drive fast, since you want speed control end.

    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).

    (No idea why I’m writing this, but I’m not gonna delete it now)

    Many Danish elevators have an “I fart” indicator.

      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?

        “I fart” means “in movement”, just an indicator that it’s on its way, and “hertil” is as you guessed a combination of “her til” meaning “to here”, that’s the button you press to call the elevator.

        It is the panel outside of the elevator. “Fart” means speed and “I fart” means that the elevator is moving. Hertil means “to here” and is the button you use to summon the elevator to your floor.

    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.

        I barely can communicate effectively in English sometimes. If I’m lucky I might get German across. ;p. Those are the only two words in swedish that I know.

          I dont think it’s from a skit. I think it’s from an interview of rally driver Petter Solberg who is famously bad at English (and probably pumped full of adrenaline after a race)
