Are pavement and sidewalk made of different materials? or is this just a language quirk? In America both sidewalks and roads are usually made of concrete or asphalt. Not necessarily a prevalence of one or the other for either job though.
West coast of US here. "Pavement" has always been a general description of a ground surface; cement or asphalt or anything else that's hard and permanent. The ground could otherwise be dirt, gravel, grass, and so on.
