- This article is about the American English usage of pavement as the durable surfacing of roads and walkways. In British English, pavement is usually taken to mean a footpath next to a road, the same as sidewalk in American English. See Pavement (disambiguation).
Pavement in American English refers to the durable surface for an area intended to sustain traffic, which can be either vehicular traffic or foot traffic. The most common modern paving methods are asphalt and concrete. In the past, brick was extensively used, as was metalling. Today, permeable paving methods are beginning to be used more for low-impact roadways and walkways. See Pavement marker for information on that topic. - 1 Metalling

| Metal or metalling has had two distinct usages in road paving. Metalling originally referred to the process of creating a carefully engineered gravel roadway. The route of the roadway first would be dug down several feet. Depending on local conditions, French drains may or may not have been added. Next, large stone was placed and compacted, followed by successive layers of smaller stone, until the road surface was a small stone compacted into a hard, durable surface. Road metal later became the name of stone chippings mixed with tar to form the road surfacing material tarmac. A road of such material was called a "metalled road" in British usage, although this would be very rare in modern usage. It would be more common to refer to a macadam road. The word metal is derived from the Latin metallum, which means both "mine" and "quarry", hence the roadbuilding terminology. A road in the process of being resurfaced, showing both old and new asphalt surfaces.
2) "Driveway" -- As to paving driveway drive·way
Pronunciation: -"wA
Function: noun
: a private road giving access from a public way to a building on abutting grounds Pronunciation Symbols
Driveway to a farm A driveway is a type of private road for local access to one or a small group of structures, and is owned and maintained by an individual or group. Driveways do not usually have traffic lights. However, at a few driveways to commercial buinesses and parks in which there is more traffic than a "Private Drive", there is an exception. Driveways can be decorative in ways that public roads can not, due to their lighter traffic or the willingness of an owner to invest in their construction. Driveways are not resurfaced, snow blown or otherwise kept up by governmental bodies. They are often designed to conform to the architecture of the connected home or other building. Materials used for driveways include concrete, decorative brick, cobblestone, asphalt, decomposed granite, and various materials in alternation with grass or other ground cover plants. Driveways are commonly used as a path to a garage. Or, in the case of large estates, a driveway may be the road that leads to the house from the public road, possibly with a gate in between. There are examples of one driveway which splits to service two or more garages maintained by different owners. Driveway can also refer to a small apron of hardscape in front of a garage and including a curb cut sidewalk, sometimes too short to fit a parked auto. Often, by choice or by local regulation, cars are parked in longer driveways to leave streets clear for traffic. For example, the city of Pasadena, California forbids parking on residential streets from 2-6 am. which results in deeper driveways having been built and remaining usable. Residential driveways are also frequently used by their owners for such things as a Garage sale, auto washing and repair, and for recreation, most notably in the US for basketball shooting practice.
