Answer 2

The word is

that while on the parkway

you are "on your way to the place that you will park"

therefore it is "the way to your parking place"

And, the same with the term "driveway"

it is the place that you start

when your destination is --- to drive

therefore --- it is "the way to your 'drive' "

And, the fact that.....the people that named these

were crazy as h**l !!  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚˜Â¼
