When parking uphill on a two-way street with no curb, the front wheels should be turned toward the right (away from the street).

• A. Toward the right (away from the street)
• B. Toward the left (toward the street)
• C. Straight
• D. Downhill toward the curb

Answer: (A)

The safety idea is to position the wheels so that if the car starts to roll, it will move away from traffic rather than into it. On an uphill parking situation on a two‑way street with no curb, turning the front wheels to the right (toward the road shoulder away from the travel lane) accomplishes this. If gravity tries to move the car, it will tend to roll off the roadway rather than into the traffic lanes, reducing the chance of a collision with oncoming vehicles.

Turning the wheels to the left would direct any rolling motion toward the street and traffic, increasing the hazard. Leaving the wheels straight offers no deflection away from traffic. The option about turning downhill toward the curb applies to a different hill scenario (downhill parking with a curb) and isn’t the appropriate action here.
