You are right. They are. But they’re less common than driveways in the US and I don’t know why you guys make yours so smooth that if there’s freezing weather you can’t even walk up it if there’s the tiniest incline.

Also a bitch to walk on in high heels, no matter the weather!
At least 50% of the problem is high heels though. Respect the sacrifice of anyone who wears them
