Default Newly paved driveway - How long before I can park on it?

"LJ" wrote:

I just had my driveway torn up and repaved.
The company used a base of crushed concrete, or something similar,
which settled for about a month before the asphalt was done.
They said it was best to wait at least 2 weeks before I use the
driveway,
but 3 - 4 weeks would be better.
Does this sound right?


What would have been better is to have let the base settle for a bit before
paving, but if the base was rolled properly, it shouldn't matter. Once the
ashphalt has cooled, you can drive on it.
