Question: 1 / 115

When parking on a street without incline, how should you position your wheels?

Turned away from the street

When parking on a street without an incline, the wheels should be turned toward the street. This ensures that if the vehicle were to roll, it would roll away from the curb and into the roadway, reducing the risk of it rolling into a position that could obstruct traffic or create a hazard.

In contrast, turning the wheels away from the street would only be appropriate if you were parking on an incline. Parking parallel to the street is generally acceptable as a positioning option but does not provide the same safety measures for preventing rolling as turning toward the street does. Parking perpendicular to the street is not standard practice for parallel parking situations and can also create obstructive conditions for other vehicles.
