What way should your right front wheel be facing when you are parked on a downhill curb?
In a downhill area, you should always park with the front wheels toward the curb. The theory is that if the brakes malfunction, the car will move towards the curb and stop, instead of going downhill, gathering speed and causing an accident.

If you are parked on level ground or facing downhill, you should turn your wheel towards the curb, so that the front of the tire is facing the curb. This way, if your car begins to roll down the hill or is struck from behind, it will be forced into the curb. If you are parked facing up a hill, you should turn your wheel away from the curb, so that the back of the tire is facing the curb. This way, if your car begins to roll down the hill, it will be forced to stop on the curb. Always apply your parking brake when parking on a hill.
