In practice there is very little difference between a road and a drive. The terms do have different histories, however. Roads were built long ago by the Roman Empire to make it easier to move their armies around as needed, and generally people walked on those roads. Driving also existed, even then, but only of horse-drawn vehicles. Today, driving is more common than walking, even on roads, but the term drive emphasizes the importance of being able to drive a vehicle. Pedestrians now use sidewalks rather than roads. Other terms such as street, boulevard, or highway, all have similar meanings as well, but different histories.
