When parking on a two-way street downhill with no curb, how should you angle your front wheels?
When parking a vehicle facing downhill, whether or not there is a curb present, or when parking uphill on a stretch without a curb, the ideal position is to turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road. This positioning ensures that if the brakes fail, the car will drift away from traffic, minimizing risk. Conversely, when parked uphill where there is a curb, orienting the wheels towards the road ensures that the car will roll into the curb, providing additional safety.
