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

When parking uphill with a curb, the correct action is to turn your wheels away from the curb. This is important for safety reasons: if your vehicle were to roll backward due to gravity, the wheels facing away from the curb would cause the vehicle to roll into the curb rather than into the road or other traffic.

By positioning the wheels in this way, you create a safety barrier that effectively helps prevent the vehicle from gaining momentum and rolling further down the hill. This method is part of the standard practice for handling uphill parking, reinforcing the importance of setting your vehicle to avoid potential accidents or hazards on the roadway.
