If you are parking uphill with a curb, how should you turn the steering wheel?

When parking uphill with a curb, turning the wheels away from the curb is the safest setup. This position helps use the curb as a backup barrier if the vehicle starts to move, reducing the chance of the car rolling into traffic or slamming into the curb. Keeping the wheels toward the curb or straight removes that added safeguard and can make a roll more dangerous.
