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.

Your contractor really ought to have advised you about this, but if nowt was said, best leave it 24 hours.

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!
