When parking uphill, the wheels should be turned toward which part of the road?

• A. Toward the center of the road
• B. Toward the edge of the road
• C. Toward the curb
• D. Away from the edge

Answer: (B)

On a slope, you orient the wheels so that if the car starts to move, it will roll toward the edge of the road rather than into traffic. Turning toward the edge of the road when parking uphill helps keep the vehicle away from the travel lane if braking fails, reducing the chance it will roll into traffic or into another lane.

If there happens to be a curb, the usual rule changes: turn away from the curb to let the curb act as a blocking point. But for this scenario, the intended guidance is to turn toward the edge of the road.
