"semi-paved" does not make any sense to me (besides maybe something divided in two along its direction, (that would probably be half-paved)) . I've looked the word "paved" up in an online dictionary and it seems to confirm what I thought it would mean. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pave 1 *:* to lay or cover with material (as asphalt or concrete) that forms a firm level surface for travel 2 *:* to cover firmly and solidly as if with paving material 3 *:* to serve as a covering or pavement <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pavement> of 1 is dealing with asphalt or concrete (firm level surface) 2 is dealing with different stuff (as if it was paved), i.e. comparing to 3 is not useful for us here gravel does not seem to fit into any of these categories. Maybe this is a language problem? E.g. in German you could translate "paved" as either "gepflastert"/"asphaltiert"/"betoniert" or as "befestigt", where the latter would indeed include gravel, fine gravel etc. (but in these cases "paved" would not be a suitable translation of "befestigt"). cheers, Martin
