Best Answer

When parking uphill on a street with no curve, you should position your front wheels away from the curb or edge of the road. This is to prevent your vehicle from rolling into traffic if the parking brake fails.

Uphill, turn your front wheels toward where a curb should be. Set your parking brake. If the brakes fail, the wheels will turn your backend back toward the side of the road. If downhill, turn the wheels toward the curb/side of the road with parking brake on---if a failure, downhill gravity will take the car to the side rather than rolling into traffic.
