A driver parks on a hill facing uphill with a curb on the right. Which direction should the front wheels be turned?

HILL PARKING WHEEL DIRECTION — UPHILL WITH CURB: Turn wheels AWAY from the curb (to the LEFT, toward the road/traffic). LOGIC: If the car rolls BACKWARD, the right-rear of the car goes toward the curb; the wheel turned LEFT means the left front wheel is pointing toward the road, but the back of the car hits the curb before rolling further. Actually: with wheels turned LEFT (away from curb), if car rolls back, the car turns slightly and the front-right corner contacts the curb — using curb as backstop. MNEMONIC: UPHILL = Away from curb; DOWNHILL = Toward curb (in either case: use the curb as a backstop for the rolling direction). NO CURB (either direction): Turn wheels toward the road shoulder — so if car rolls, it goes off the road rather than into traffic.
