Driveway
A driveway is an object in The Sims 2: Nightlife (and later downloadable) and The Sims 3.
In The Sims 2, a car must be placed on a driveway or driveway extension. The driveway is very large (taking all tiles that a Sim needs to enter the car) and must be connected to the street. In The Sims 3 the driveway is small and can be placed anywhere in the lot.
