In what direction should you turn your wheels when parking uphill without a curb in Texas?
When parking uphill on a street with no curb, the front wheels should be positioned to the right. If there is a curb, the back of the right front wheel should be turned against the curb.
When parking your vehicle parallel to the curb on a level street, your wheels should be facing straight ahead, not turned toward the curb or away from it. This position helps ensure that your vehicle remains secure and minimizes the risk of rolling away. Additionally, it allows for easier access for other vehicles and pedestrians.
Yes, when parking uphill with a curb, a driver should turn the wheels towards the curb to prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail.

You should point your wheels away from the curb when parking up hill and toward the curb when parking down the hill. You want the vehicle to immediately make contact with the curb if is rolls.
In Texas, the test requires the wheels to be 6-12 inches away from the curb. It might be different in your state though!
When your parking downhill you always turn the wheel to the right no matter if there is a curb or not. When your parking uphill you turn the wheel to the right if there is NO curb. If there is a curb you turn the wheel to the left. Hope it helped.
