What is the proper way to park on a grade?

  1. Always park downhill

  2. With wheels pointed toward the curb when facing uphill

  3. With wheels straight

  4. Proper parking for uphill and downhill, with and without a curb

The correct answer is: Proper parking for uphill and downhill, with and without a curb

The proper way to park on a grade involves understanding how to position your vehicle based on whether you are facing uphill or downhill, as well as whether there is a curb present. When parking uphill, if there is a curb, you should turn your front wheels away from the curb so that if the vehicle rolls, it will roll back into the curb rather than into traffic. Conversely, if you are parking downhill, you should turn your front wheels toward the curb. This way, if the car were to roll, it would roll into the curb and not into the street. The answer recognizes the importance of adapting your parking method based on these factors, outlining the proper procedures for both situations, with and without a curb. By understanding the correct techniques for parking on a grade, drivers can mitigate the risk of their vehicle rolling away and causing potential accidents.
