Often, either by choice or to conform with local regulations, cars are parked in driveways in order to leave streets clear for traffic Moreover, some jurisdictions prohibit parking or leaving standing any motor vehicle upon any residential lawn area (defined as the property from the front of a residential house, condominium, or cooperative to the street line other than a driveway, walkway, concrete or blacktopped surface parking space) Other examples include the city of Berkeley, California that forbids "any person to park or leave standing, or cause to be parked or left standing any vehicle upon any public street in the City for seventy two or more consecutive hours" Other areas may prohibit leaving vehicles on residential streets during certain times (for instance, to accommodate regular street cleaning), necessitating the use of driveways.
Unlike concrete or block decorative paving, resin bound surfacing isn�t simple to install This complexity makes it more expensive than other options including porous coloured asphalt alternatives Furthermore, this kind of surfacing needs to be laid properly, by an expert, in order to ensure longevity and a high quality finish Without that expert knowledge, the installation will not look as good as it would otherwise.
