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.
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.
English has a lot of influence from both Germanic and Latin, to the point where I don’t think it’s reasonable to classify it as a strictly “Germanic” language.
There are plenty of English words that can be traced to old Norse (i.e. Norwegian Viking occupiers, raiders, and/or traders).
This is either Norwegian or Danish.
It’s true that ‘fart’ means speed in Swedish, but in this context ‘hastighet’ would be used (~‘hastiness’).

I guess this is where we get “haste”?
It’d be more accurate to say they share the same origin. Swedish and English are both part of the Germanic language family.
