I have just had my driveway tarmaced & not sure if it can be walked on or when I should be able to park on it (there is a small slope upwards, it that makes any differance).
Any advise would be appeciated.
Thanks.

We always tell our customers to stay off the new surface for at least 24hrs - longer during periods of hot weather.
It does depend upon the surface laid - SMA based materials do 'go off' rock hard within 2hrs or so. We laid a car parking area last week - and drove our lorries (inc 40t low-loader) over it with no ill effects, let alone any tyre marks!
