How should your front tires be oriented when parking downhill on a two-way street without a curb?
To prevent your vehicle from rolling into traffic, it's crucial to correctly position your wheels when parked on a slope. If parked downhill on a road without a curb, angle your front wheels towards the roadside. This ensures the car rolls off the street instead of into it in case of brake failure. Conversely, if facing uphill without a curb, do the same. On a hill with a curb, when parked uphill, the wheels should be turned towards the street to engage the curb if needed.
