When parking uphill on a street with a curb, which direction should you turn your wheels?

When parking uphill on a street with a curb, you should turn your wheels away from the curb. This practice is crucial for ensuring your vehicle does not roll into the street if the brakes fail. By turning the wheels away from the curb, the back of the front tire will rest against the curb, helping to prevent the vehicle from rolling downwards.

It's important to ensure that when parking hills, the wheels are positioned correctly based on the slope of the road. When parked this way, if the vehicle begins to roll, it will turn and be stopped by the curb rather than rolling back into traffic. This action enhances the safety of both the parked vehicle and other road users.
