Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

@JenKarl As far as I know it is only in America that they are called Parkway's the rest of the world call them roads or streets etc as for parking I put the car in the Garage

@Longleggedlady it’s an American word. We have many parks where people can drive. We park in out driveway because our other three cars are in our garage.

Apparently the fact that people are getting high on the ways and roads impairs their speed...🤭

@JenKarl 😂 TY!!!
In eastern US, many highways are actually elevated over existing city streets. 😛

But I think it may be due to the high speed at which vehicles 🚗 are driven.

cuz you get high on the way?
Longleggedlady · 31-35, F
@TheCoolestCat You must keep up with the times it is not politically correct anymore to refer to someone as being HIGH they are now Chemically Inconvenienced

You will be fined five credits as in Demolition Man movie if you continue to use incorrect or outdated offensive terms

Why do you park cars on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
Longleggedlady · 31-35, F
@jackson55 But is in ON or IN the driveway that you are parked
Because its quicker to go places.
Longleggedlady · 31-35, F
@BlondilyOld In that case surely a more accurate description would be the QUICK/Fast ROAD or something to that effect

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica website, the term originally referred to elevated Roman roads in ancient times. The term has become more general and now refers to "major roads".

Americans always have to be different to the R.0.W. Why call it a sidewalk when it's a pavement ?
