Which statement about parking on hills is true when there is a curb?

When you’re parking on a hill and there’s a curb, turn the wheels toward the curb. The curb then acts as a barrier that can stop the vehicle if it starts to roll, preventing it from moving into traffic. This setup uses the curb as a safety stop, so the car doesn’t end up in the travel lane. (If there’s no curb, the usual guidance is to turn wheels away from traffic so a sliding vehicle is directed toward the roadside rather than into traffic.)
