When parking on a hill or incline secure your vehicle's wheels in the direction of the

• A. Street curb
• B. Oncoming traffic
• C. Center of the road
• D. The opposite curb

Answer: (A)

Turning the wheels toward the curb when you park on a hill uses the curb as a stopping barrier. If the vehicle begins to roll, the tire will be guided into the curb and blocked from moving into traffic, which keeps you safer. This is why directing your wheels toward the street curb is the best practice on an incline with a curb. If there isn’t a curb, steer toward the edge of the road and always engage the parking brake.
