The terms "parkway" and "driveway" have historical origins that no longer align with their current usage. "Parkway" originally referred to a landscaped road for leisurely driving, while "driveway" referred to a private road leading to a house where one could park their car. Over time, the meanings of these words evolved, but the original terms stuck. So, you park in the driveway because it leads to your house, and you drive on the parkway because it's a road designed for driving.
