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.

Which way should you turn your wheels when parking facing uphill where the curb where there is a curb?
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.
Which way should you turn your wheel when facing downhill with no curb?
You should turn your wheels towards where the curb would be when facing downhill because your wheels will turn clockwise and if your cars ends up rolling it will go off to the side of the road instead of into traffic which would be more preferred in that situation.
Which way should you turn your wheels when parkng facing uphill where there is a curb according fl rules?
It's just a matter of gravity If facing the hill, the back of the front tires should be to the curb. If facing downhill, the front of the front tires should face the curb. Here's the idea. If for some reason your emergency brake fails or the car comes out of gear when you're NOT in the vehicle, having your front tires against the curb will stop the car from going down hill. At rest, there is not enough momentum in the car's movement to force the tire resting on the curb to go over the curb and continue downhill. Even if there is no curb, you should follow the practice anyway. The car on the downside of the hill will likely stop your car or the vehicle will roll into the street oriented sideways to the hill. . . better than continuing down hill.
