A significant number of American driveways are concrete. I'm not going to look up numbers, but I would have to believe that more are concrete than asphalt/tarmac. Unpaved driveways could outnumber both, who knows, but most people with paved driveways have concrete.
I’ve never understood why people so frequently choose poured concrete over cheap interlocking pavers. Where I live, it’s extremely common to see someone pour a concrete driveway then promptly cut it up because they forgot something.
In contrast I've never seen someone have to cut up a driveway.
There are many ways concrete is superior to pavers. One of the most important is that it is miserable and almost impossible to properly clear snow and ice from pavers.
They sink when a car repeatedly drives over them. I watched a neighbor redo their yellow brick driveway. Well. Only briefly…
Ruts were visible pretty quickly again
I think that depends on the region and weather differences. In the northeast at least, asphalt seems to be a lot more common than concrete.
Or eveen gravel as in my case.
