So what does Fart mean in Danish or German? [emoji15]

In German, fahren is the verb ‘to go’ (in a vehicle)

Ich (I) farhre
Du (You) farhst
Er (He) farht*

So fartkontrol is presumably a warning over some kind of speed control.

And ‘your’ in German is Dein so Din fart is ‘Your speed’ instead of a Scottish dialect instruction not to break wind

* Somehow I passed O Level German in 1980. My memory may not be entirely accurate, but you get the idea of verb declension and why a class of British school kids fell about laughing. Poor Miss Crombie. She was a terrible teacher.

Chuckling has gotten me into trouble in the recent past.
I read it. The poster is an ... sorry to say... idiot. "Redfoot eats only banana".... You are right. When I have read the thread earlier ( I read it yestersay ) I would have said something to his bad commentars on you, but it was too long ago. Better not disturb such an idi.. again. Sorry for you.
