Difference Between Concrete, Concrete Slabs and Concrete Lanes?
Difference Between Concrete, Concrete Slabs and Concrete Lanes?
I'm on Street Complete and I'm trying to differentiate between Concrete, Concrete slabs, and concrete lanes. There's a walkway that's just a normal concrete walkway, I didn't know there were so many designations for this.
The Wiki is great for things like this. In this case the page on concrete has links to concrete slabs and concrete lanes, and both have pictures.

Hope this helps :)
I have to say it only adds to my confusion. What the heck is a “concrete plate”??
the example looks like the worst possible surface imaginable for a road.
I was also confused. I've been using
concrete:platesfor almost all walkways that I've encountered. On surface=concrete:plates it says this:surface=concrete - concrete forming a large surface, typically cast in place and may have predetermined breaking joints
Which is confusing, because sidewalks AFAIK are cast in place and have predetermined breaking joints, but it seems like
surface=concreteis more for mostly continuous concrete surfaces regardless of that text?
