On a two-way street with no curb, uphill parking requires turning the front wheels which direction?

• A. Turn away from the street (right)
• B. Turn toward the street (left)
• C. Keep wheels straight
• D. Turn toward the curb

Answer: (A)

When parking uphill on a street with no curb, aim to direct the front wheels toward the edge of the road. Turning to the right (toward the shoulder) puts the wheels facing away from the travel lanes, so if the car starts to roll, it will be guided toward the road edge rather than into oncoming traffic. Keeping the wheels straight offers no extra protection, and turning toward the center of the road could direct the car into traffic. Since there’s no curb, turning toward a curb isn’t applicable.
