  • Naturally demarcate zones
  • Texture and pattern for awareness and attractiveness

Interlocking concrete pavements (ICPs) naturally invoke reduced speeds, demarcating zones by texture, color, and pattern. Excellent for creating woonerfs, or home zones (an area, usually residential, where motorists and other users share the street without boundaries such as lanes and curbs). ICPs "feel" like a focal-point, intimately detailed and purposed for foot traffic, and define inviting common areas and gathering places.
