How should you position your front wheels when parking downhill on a two-way street without a curb?
When parking downhill on a road with or without a curb, or uphill on a road that lacks a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road. This way, if your brakes fail, your vehicle will roll away from traffic, reducing potential hazards. Conversely, when parking uphill with a curb, turn the wheels toward the road to ensure the vehicle rolls against the curb.
