Because the 'park' in 'parkway' is more closely related to the meaning of 'park' as an open, green space, than 'park' as in what you do to leave your car somewhere. So you are driving along a road bordered by a sort of park landscaping.
And the driveway being the means of access from a house or other building to the street, a car can be parked (i.e.
'stopped and left') there, as well as driven.

Actually I sometimes drive faster on my driveway then on the parkway. I even sit parked on the parkway many times.

Does parking on a parkway get you anywhere? Does driving on a driveway get you anywhere?

Let me guess, your next question will be..........
why do they call them apartments, if they are alltogether.
Honestly -- this joke is older than dirt
