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

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.


You must have missed this in the OP

The company used a base of crushed concrete, or something similar,
which settled for about a month before the asphalt was done
