Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! Previously, we introduced you to The Camden Bench, the Pig’s Ear and 8 other ways the government are using design to control what the way you act. We couldn’t leave it there though, there’s just so many ways we’re being manipulated by the powers that be. So, strap on that tinfoil hat and set your facial expression to ‘suspicious’. Here are 10 more ways governments control your behaviour with clever design.

Featuring… The coughing billboard – In Sweden, the government REALLY don’t want you to smoke. Smoking is banned in restaurants, bars and malls, and they’re talking about extending the ban to outdoor public areas like bus stops and parks. Underground music – In the mid 1990’s, the people running Montreal’s underground train system, the Metro, came up with a novel idea to get rid of gangs of young people committing crimes on the network. The Mosquito – As you get older, the range of frequencies you can hear gets smaller. Does this explain why all pop music sounds appalling when you hit 30? I don’t know. The circular bridge – To South America now. Back in the day, if you wanted to get from the cities of Rocha and Maldonado in Southern Uruguay, you’d have to catch a raft across this lagoon, the Laguna Garzon. Placebo buttons – We like to feel we’re in control… even when we’re not. The powers that be like you to think you’re in control too. That’s why we have placebo buttons. A placebo button is a button that looks like it does something, placed where a button that does something should be placed. Pink paint in prison – Normally, the only people you’d expect to sleep in a pink bedroom would be little girls, but the government of Switzerland had other ideas. Back in 2013, they painted 30 of their prison cells a lovely shade of pink, called Baker Miller Pink. Blue light – In large doses, blue light can be harmful to our eyes and our sleeping patterns. That’s why our smartphones have a night setting, cutting out the blue light. The Portland Loo – There have been high tech public toilets before, like the self-cleaning ones San Francisco installed in the 90s, but nothing like the Portland Loo. The phantom roundabout – Despite ever increasing punishments, like fines, or losing your license, some people still like to drive like maniacs. This places themselves and other road users in danger. Crossing the road – We established earlier that many pedestrian crossing buttons don’t actually do anything. To make up for it, the government have taken steps to make crossing the road an ‘experience’. Every summer in London’s Trafalgar Square, they have the Pride Festival, a celebration of the LGBT community.
