Parking on a Hill – How to Park Uphill and Downhill

Learn how to park uphill and downhill, with or without a curb. Hill parking is difficult, and there’s a lot you need to remember depending on if you’re parking downhill or uphill.

For example, you will need to turn your wheels in a direction that prevents your vehicle from moving into the path of traffic if the brakes fail. This means you will need to turn the wheels differently depending on whether you are parking uphill or parking downhill, as well as if the road has a curb or not. And that’s just one of the things you need to remember.
