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.

@pineapplelover @openstreetmap
That thread has a top answer with a grand total of one vote on it, I wouldn't take it as consensus on anything.

Concrete that is poured in one piece usually has visible lines. They're placed there after the fact or when the concrete is wet to control how it cracks as it settles. That doesn't mean it's separate plates. The cuts normally aren't full depth.
