When you park on an uphill street without a curb, turn the wheels to the right. This way, if the parking brake slips and the car starts to roll, the front tires will catch the roadside and the vehicle will roll toward the edge of the road rather than into the traffic lane. Keeping the wheels straight or turning them to the left could allow the car to roll into the travel lane. If there were a curb, you’d turn toward the curb to keep the wheel against it.
