The Rudder: for easy, eco-friendly orientation

Making it easier for pedestrians to find their way around town is a key factor in promoting sustainable mobility, by ensuring a pleasant and practical walking experience.
Aximum, in partnership with Viamouv, offers you The Rudder Gouvernail, an innovative low-tech solution. This street furniture makes it easy for pedestrians to find their way around, physically and mentally pointing them in the right direction. It is very useful at the entrance to a pedestrian area or a meeting zone, for example, so that users can easily find their way around.

The Rudder makes it easier for pedestrians to get around and locate points of interest. Its mapping can be customised to enhance a town, a district, a natural site, etc. The device is entirely mechanical and autonomous, with no plugs or connections, and consumes no energy. The Rudder’s understated design means it fits in with any environment, indoors or out. Its design, based on sustainable and recyclable materials, makes it an item of eco-responsible street furniture.

Quality surfaces to improve the living environment

Ground surfaces can be used to organise and enhance urban spaces for pedestrians. The use of high quality ground surfaces in towns and cities, particularly in pedestrian areas, helps improve the safety,aesthetics, comfort and identity of the urban environment. 

Aximum offers you a wide range of solutions:

  • Gravel surfaces in natural colours by Indasroc for improved grip and perception in certain road areas, such as pedestrian zones and 30 km/h zones. Its great aesthetic qualities enhance and make safer spaces such as forecourts, squares, pavements, etc.
  • Non-slip and coloured surface by Indasquartz for applying colour to areas of the road requiring particular vigilance on the part of users. These surfaces can be used to create animated markings in pedestrian areas and meeting zones.
  • High-strength resin pavers for durable, aesthetic landscaping on all road types. The different shapes available provide a high degree of flexibility and a solution adapted to each development.

Our teams are on hand to help you choose the best solution for your project.

Boosting peaceful traffic zones with animated markings

Authorised for use in meeting and pedestrian areas, animated markings make the city more dynamic and fun , and easily allow pedestrians to identify the space they are in. Animated markings also attract the attention of motorists, encouraging them to adapt their speed and behaviour.

Aximum recommends animated markings with water-based paints and more specifically Albétop solution to combat urban heat islands in order to combine the animation of urban space and the thermal comfort of the surfaces. Our teams are on hand to help you choose the products best suited to your project and carry out the application work. 

Did you know? Animated markings must be consistent with existing signage. It must not interfere with the understanding of road signs or the use of public space.
