    At the very minimum you are confidently incorrect about how universal those terms are.

    British English uses “road surface” where US English uses “pavement”.

    British English uses “pavement” where US English uses “sidewalk”

    You can also find “metaling” as a general term for hard road surfaces.

    Even “concrete” can be short for “asphalt concrete” or “bituminous asphalt concrete”, i.e. yet another name for that same thing.

    I can’t find anywhere that uses “rigid pavement” as a term to mean specifically concrete based on Portland cement. To me it sounds like a general term which would cover both concrete and asphalt [concrete]. But I’ll trust that you didn’t just make it up.
