When parking on a hill, which direction should your wheels face if you are facing downhill?

When parking on a hill and facing downhill, the correct action is to turn your wheels toward the curb. This is crucial for safety reasons. If your vehicle were to roll, having the wheels turned toward the curb would help to prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic—this effectively uses the curb as a barrier to stop the vehicle from rolling away and creating a potential hazard.

Turning your wheels away from the curb or keeping them parallel to the road would not provide the necessary protection should the car start to move. Parking in a way that considers the direction of the slope and the position of the curb ensures that your vehicle remains secure and minimizes the risk of accidents.
