Explanation
Turning your wheels to the right when parking downhill on a two-way street is the correct procedure. This prevents your vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail or if the vehicle starts to move unintentionally. By turning the wheels to the right, the vehicle's tires will roll toward the curb or roadside, acting as a natural barrier and reducing the risk of an accident.
