Explanation
When parking on a hill, the direction of the wheels can make a big difference in preventing the vehicle from rolling into traffic.
If you are parking uphill and there is no curb, you should turn the wheels toward the edge of the road. That way, the vehicle will roll away from traffic if it moves.
