Turned away from the street (to the right).
|
|
|
Parallel with the pavement.
|
|
|
Turned toward the street (to the left).

Explanation
When parallel parking on a hill, you should leave your vehicle with its wheels turned away from the street. This ensures that if the brakes fail for any reason, your vehicle will roll to the side rather than toward the flow of traffic, preventing it from rolling onto the road.
