Funny, that movie was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down” in English.

In Japan, they used the title “Old Man Carl’s Flying House” for Pixar’s Up.

If this bus drops under 50 MPH, you’re gonna see some serious shit.

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.

hastighet
As a native speaker of a language that’s unlike anything, I envy you folks so much. Knowing enough English and German you just look at it, and go ‘aaah, speediness’ (I guess the ‘hast’/‘hastig’ bit is the same as ‘haste’/‘hasty’ in English, and the ‘het’ is the same as ‘heit’ /~ness’/ in German).
You wouldn’t guess the word, reading it in context is so much easier.
lime@feddit.nu 2 weeks 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.

Hah, just wait until you get to the slutstation!
owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Every station is a slutstation when you’re with me, baby.
PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It’s less about the fart itself, more about demonstrating that you’re capable of restraint.

I’m blowing past that limit

It’s not the fart that kills, but the smell.
SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of “It’s not the speed (fart) that kills, but the impact (smäll)”
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Always practice fartkontrol, when you go to the slutstation.

That kind of speed is called hastighet in Swedish…
TheBat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
English: ride to art museum

What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?
gigachad@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I guess you need to expect your farts being controlled over the next 2-12 km.
PixTupy@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
It’s not km/h, just km. So maybe from km 2 to km 12 on this road, they are “controlling the farts”.

5 Farts per hour is quite a lot of propulsion, better limit that.

I am only learning this now??!?!
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
This is either Norwegian or Danish.
It’s true that ‘fart’ means speed in Swedish, but in this context ‘hastighet’ would be used (~‘hastiness’).
nao@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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.
VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
These signs are not Danish, not officially at least. “Fartkontrol” is a Danish word but the sign is not an official sign and in Denmark we wouldn’t split “fart” and “kontrol” into separate words.
lime@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
i think we figured out last time this was posted that it’s danish.
Scrollone@feddit.it 2 weeks ago
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
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
‘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’.
lime@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
then you weren’t in sweden. we dont even signpost them.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I guess this is where we get “haste”?
lime@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
and “fart” is where you get “fare”, as in to travel. or rather, we both got them from german.
bricklove@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
It’d be more accurate to say they share the same origin. Swedish and English are both part of the Germanic language family.
SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
‘Hastighet’ means velocity.
