What direction should wheels point when parking uphill without a curb?

When parking uphill without a curb, the wheels should be turned away from the road. This positioning is important for several reasons.

Primarily, it prevents the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the vehicle were to accidentally roll back. By turning the wheels away from the road, if the vehicle were to move, it would roll off the roadway and away from any oncoming traffic, reducing the risk of a collision.

In contrast, turning the wheels towards the road would allow the vehicle to roll into the lane, creating a dangerous situation for both the vehicle and other road users. Therefore, ensuring the wheels are pointed away from the road is a crucial safety measure when parking on an incline without a curb.
