Parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection is prohibited to keep pedestrians visible.

You are parked facing uphill on a street with a curb. Before leaving the vehicle, you should turn the wheels:

Accepted Answer

Away from the curb

Answer

Facing uphill with a curb, turn the wheels away from the curb so the car rolls back into the curb if it moves.

With no curb, always turn the wheels toward the road edge so a rolling vehicle moves off the roadway, not into traffic.
