Which way should you point your wheels when parking up hill with no curb?

Answer 1

to the right

It depends on which side of the road you park. The rule is if the car starts to move downhill the wheels should be turned so the vehicle rolls to the side of the road not into the middle of the road.

Answer 2

For the sake of uniformity learn to park on an uphill grade WITHOUT a curb the same way you would as if a curb existed.

Pull or back to the side of the road and turn your wheel hard to the left. If there were a curb this would present the rear of your front [steering] tire to the curb and prevent the vehicle from rolling. Since there is no curb, it would have the effect of turning your car in a semi-circle out into the street but would not allow it to run straight back downhill.
Wheels turned to the right it is only uphill with a curb that you turn the wheels to the left
Without a curb parking uphill, turn your wheels towards the edge.

With a curb parking uphill, turn your wheels away from the curb.

Answer 3

When you park uphill, it's a good idea to turn the backs of your front wheels into the curb. That way, if your parking break fails, the car can't travel down the hill on its own.

However, when no curb is present, there's nothing to prevent a drifting car if the brakes fail, so the best idea if you don't have a curb is to turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road. This way, should your car start drifting, it will tend to steer off the road where it is less likely to create a traffic hazard.

Answer 4

You should turn your wheels towards the road side (lawn, gutter, etc). That way if your car is to go out of parking gear and roll or you have for some reason left it in neutral then it will roll onto the lawn and most likely in to a tree or a obstacle of some sort. Which in the big picture is a lot better then rolling into the road and possibly causing a major/minor car accident.

Answer 5

Avoid using wheels at all when the angle is above 20 degrees.

If there is no other option, get out of the car and try to manoeuvre the car by hand.

Answer 6

away from the curb.
