      often tarred instead. Paving being slabs of brick/concrete over here

        Right but their sidewalks are called pavement, so how are their roads made?

          Bitumen over gravel at varying ratios, mostly. It’s not very hot here (for now)

            Some Brit terms may seem unusual to us in the US, but in cases like this, you could argue they’re more accurate. Why do we use pavers to build sidewalks and patios, but asphalt to build “pavement”?
