Word order

1. George saw the car that is moving at 80kmph from Road NO.1.

2. George saw the car that is moving at 80kmph on Road No.1.

My understanding of these sentences is
In the first sentence, Trunk road refers to George. That Georger is viewing the car from trunk road.
In the second sentence , car is related with Trunk road i.e the car traveling on trunk road.
Are the above sentences correct,.If not what are the errors,
and if not correct how do i relate george with car that is moving on "Road No.1" at 80 kmph.

regards,

Dear sir,
My doubt was more towards sentence order than tense. The prepositional phrases( from road, on road) were beside car in both sentences. But in one case the phrase was with respect to george and in the next it was directly referring the the noun before it i.e. car. I am not clear how to identify the noun with wihich the preoposistional phrase is associated.
regards,

Try,

1. (Watching) From Road NO.1, George saw the car moving at 80kmph.

2. Standing on Road NO.1, George saw the car moving at 80kmph.
