driveway

Garage's entrance path

A driveway is a private road leading from a street to a house, garage, or other building.

Unlike public roads, driveways belong to the property: The kids were playing basketball in the driveway.

In American suburbs, the driveway often serves as overflow parking, workspace, or gathering spot.
