Explanation
When parking facing downhill, you must turn your front tires toward the curb or side of the road. This ensures that if your vehicle begins to roll, it will move away from traffic and possibly stop at the curb. Always set the parking brake, and remember:
- Downhill, with or without a curb: turn wheels to the right (toward the curb or edge of the road). This safety measure reduces the risk of your vehicle rolling into traffic.
