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

No, not at all. It should be fine the next day.


I agree - unless the company uses a "chip and seal" process instead of real
ashphalt. The city uses that around here- they mix hot oil/tar and gravel and
spread it over the existing road. The oil/tar they use is somewhere in between
oil and true ashphalt and it is significantly softer than ashphalt. Takes
several weeks before normal traffic stops leaving tracks.
