Why do you turn your wheels away from the curb when parking uphill?
Similarly, what direction should you turn your wheels when parking uphill without a curb?
When facing uphill without a curb, turn the wheels sharply to the right. If the vehicle rolls, it will go off the road rather than into traffic (Diagram 2-53 C).
Likewise, do you turn tires to the curb?
Whether you park your vehicle facing uphill or downhill, the rule of thumb is to turn your wheels so that the weight of the car will roll them towards the curb. If you're faced uphill, turn your front wheels away from the curb and let your vehicle roll back until it gently touches the curb.
Face your wheels away from the curb if you are parking uphill. Turn them facing towards the curb if you are parking downhill. Press your foot on the brake, put the car in neutral, and turn your steering wheel one full turn in the proper direction. This will keep the car from rolling out into traffic if the brakes fail.
