So JohninKansas drives on the pavement? Here in the UK we drive on the road and leave the pavement (which is usually 'paved' with 'paving slabs') for pedestians.
Another case of "divided by a common language". (I suppose I had heard of 'sidewalk')
Our roads aren't paved, they are 'metaled' (or unmetaled). Though why we call tarmac 'metal' is a mystery.
