When parking uphill with a curb, how should you turn your wheels?

When parking uphill with a curb, turning your wheels away from the curb is essential for safety. This practice ensures that if your vehicle rolls downhill, the front tires will hit the curb and prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic or any other dangerous situation. By having your wheels turned outward, the vehicle is effectively "chocked" by the curb if it begins to roll.

In contrast, if you were to turn your wheels toward the curb, and your vehicle rolled, it could veer into the street, posing a hazard to other drivers and pedestrians. Parking straight ahead would not provide any safeguard against rolling, and indicating that it does not matter would overlook the importance of proper positioning to ensure the safety of your vehicle and others around you.
