Think of it this way: parkways tend to go through scenic places, such as parks, whilst driveways are usually the only parts of one's property that one actually drives on.
The people park in driveways because a drive way is a place to park and parkways is a place were people go to work.

To confuse people. :)

when we drive, we drive on the road. its just a way of GOING FARTHER. it would make no sense to park in the middle of the road!
The terms "parkway" and "driveway" originated at a time when they served different functions. "Parkways" were designed for leisurely driving and were often lined with trees and greenery, while "driveways" were meant for accessing a residence or building. Over time, language evolved and the original meanings became less relevant, leading to the current use of these terms.
The phrase "park in driveways and drive in parkways" highlights the quirky nature of the English language and how terms can be misleading. Driveways are typically private areas where vehicles are parked, while parkways are often landscaped roads designed for scenic drives. The terminology evolved from historical uses, where "parkway" referred to a broad road that led to a park, while "driveway" originally meant a private road leading to a house. This playful contradiction emphasizes the sometimes illogical nature of language.
Driveways are called so because they are private roads designed for vehicles to drive up to a house or building, allowing access for parking. Conversely, parkways were originally intended as scenic roads for leisurely drives, often lined with parks or greenery, but they typically do not have parking spaces. The terminology reflects historical usage rather than current practicalities, leading to the somewhat paradoxical terms we use today.
No. Commercial vans and trucks can run on thruways, not parkways. Parkways are resticted to cars only. There are low underpasses that vans and trucks will hit.
Driving on a driveway or parking in a parkway will damage muffler bearings,bend your Johnson rods,and loosen the ka-niffle pins holding the blinker fluid tank...dont say you were not warned.........
As long as it is secure and contained within the bed of the truck.
Apportioned plates are issued by the IRP as a way to calculate fees (taxes) to trucks that travel within two or more states. They are only issued to trucks and therefore, by default, are prohibited to operate on parkways. This applies to parkways in New York State. I am unclear of laws regarding this matter in other states.
