Fart kontrol

  This is either Norwegian or Danish.

  It’s true that ‘fart’ means speed in Swedish, but in this context ‘hastighet’ would be used (~‘hastiness’).

    Probably Denmark then. European route E47 goes from Germany to Sweden, E55 from Greece to Sweden. In Denmark they share the same physical road for a while.

    Hmm I’ve been to Sweden and I’ve seen many fart kontrol signs. I know because I took funny selfies in front of them

      ‘Fart’ does refer to speed occasionally, but the key here is that it’s always called ‘Hastighetskontroll’ in Swedish. Note the double ‘L’ in ‘kontroll’ and the compounding of ‘hastighet’ and ‘kontroll’.

    I guess this is where we get “haste”?

    • lime@feddit.nu ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      and “fart” is where you get “fare”, as in to travel. or rather, we both got them from german.

      It’d be more accurate to say they share the same origin. Swedish and English are both part of the Germanic language family.

    ‘Hastighet’ means velocity.

  I know this is old, but it is a bit irksome that this post is titled “Fact of the day” when it can’t even keep its facts straight about which country does what.

  Those signs aren’t from Sweden. Our traffic agency (who prints the signs) doesn’t use ‘fart’ meaning ‘speed’ - except for ‘gångfartsområde’, ‘walking speed area’, which disappointingly enough doesn’t even have the text on it - but mainly uses ‘hastighet’ meaning ‘velocity’. Other commenters in this thread have posted examples of ‘fart’ in a different meaning being used on Swedish traffic signs.

    both the E47 and E55 also don’t exist in sweden, E55 is only signposted up until køge in denmark.

• lime@feddit.nu ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  “fart” is colloquial swedish for speed, but the actual meaning (as used on signage) is “travel” or “fare”, like german “fahr-” words. so we have “sjöfart” (seafaring), “rymdfart” (space travel), “fartvind” (wind rushing by when moving quickly), “uppfart” (driveway) and, importantly for signs, “utfart” and “infart” (exit and entry for vehicles).

  my favorite of this is a sign nearby on a narrow road that warns about multiple exits with no sight lines.

    Nah. Just let it rip.You’ll have to get used to each other’s farts eventually. Might as well get it over with right on the first date.

      It’s less about the fart itself, more about demonstrating that you’re capable of restraint.

  Always practice fartkontrol, when you go to the slutstation.

  It’s not the fart that kills, but the smell.

  • SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of “It’s not the speed (fart) that kills, but the impact (smäll)”

  What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?

  source

  • gigachad@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I guess you need to expect your farts being controlled over the next 2-12 km.

    source
  • PixTupy@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    It’s not km/h, just km. So maybe from km 2 to km 12 on this road, they are “controlling the farts”.
