It is not legal to paint a curb in your neighborhood or in front of your house. That is a public street and not part of your property, so it is open to all to park there.

What does a yellow curb in new york city mean?
A yellow curb generally indicates the area is a bus stop. You may not stop or paqrk in this area except to pick up or discharge a passenger (providing you are not preventing a bus from pulling in or out of the bus top). In NYC, the painted curbs are more advisory than anything else - it means that there is some traffic regulation in effect there. The traffic law is guided by the signs or other indicators mounted on poles at or near the curb. So even if the curb isn't painted, the signs are what you have to obey. Example: the curb in front oif a fire hydrant is usually painted red (or some shade of red). It means that you cannot park within 15 feet on either side of it. Also note that a lack of a sign (they can come off the pole sometimes) does not mean that the regulations can be ignored. Lately the City has been painting the areas at the corners of a block in yellow on either side of the curb cut (done so that wheelchairs can get on and off the sidewalk). This is done as a visual signal to pedestrians that there is a curb cut there.

With the emergency brake on, also turn your wheels so if you start to roll you hit the curb, it will stop you from going anywhere and you wont jump the curb so you dont have to worry about hitting people.
How do you park on a hill in a 1989 Volkswagen cabriolet?
You want to park the car with the front wheels turned toward the curb so if the emergency brake were to fail the car would simply roll into the curb and stop. Put the car in first gear if it is a manual tranny and set emergency brake.
Which way should you turn you wheels when parking face uphill where there is a curb which way should you turn them where there is no curb?
You should always turn the wheels so the car will not roll further into the road. It therefore depends on which side of the road you park.
In CA When you park alongside a curb the front and back wheels must be parallel with the curb and within inches of the curb?
Not necessarily. In California your tires shouldn't be more than 18 inches from the curb or you could get a ticket. You can park as crooked as you want as long as both of your tires aren't more than 18 inches from the curb or edge of the road. If I remember correctly, that was the length of their baton so it was pretty easy for a law enforcement officer to check the distance. When parking on a hill, the goal in turning your front tires is to make the car roll OFF of the street and out of traffic if it starts rolling by itself.
