From The Maven's Archive:
One of the classic illustrations of the supposed illogic of English is the fact that we park on a driveway but drive on a parkway. There are two explanations for this particular conundrum: (1) the meanings of words change over the years, and (2) the same word can have more than one meaning.
A driveway originally did refer to a road you drive on: a driveway was a private road leading from a main road to a house. (Imagine the stereotyped long winding driveway leading up to a huge manor house and you get the idea.) But nowadays, when driveways are thirty feet long and lead only to a garage--if anything--their purpose is just to store cars next to a house. That's why we park on driveways.
A parkway, in contrast, was (and still is) a thoroughfare meant to suggest a park: rather than just being a plain road, it has trees planted on the sides or on a median divider, it's usually smaller than other highways, it twists and turns--a scenic road, in short. So the park part of parkway is the word meaning 'a nice-looking part of land in a natural state', not the word meaning 'to leave (a vehicle) in a place'. And that's why we drive on parkways.

Do not ask question that dose not mean anything. Be creative and learn something from the best answers. Your question sounds like why man in boxer and boxer gloves in man's hands. See how stupid it looks?

The instant water joke has been plagiarized quite a bit also.

So that was can get anywhere, (out of the drive way) and because that's what they call some roads....

The same reason ships carry cargo, cars carry shipments, and apartments are close together.
