A driveway is the hard strip — stone, concrete, or asphalt — between your house and the street. It is private. It belongs with the house, not with the public road. You park on it, or you use it to reach the garage. In American English this is the usual word. In British English, a long private road up to a big house is often just called a drive; driveway is still understood, and is the natural word for the shorter strip in front of an ordinary house. Though actually, people stretch it: some call any parking pad in front of a house a driveway, even when it does not look much like a road.
