When parking uphill next to a curb, turning your steering wheel away from the curb is the correct practice because it helps ensure that if your vehicle were to roll backwards, it would make contact with the curb rather than rolling into the street. By having the front tires turned away from the curb, the vehicle's rear end would pivot towards the curb, effectively preventing it from rolling into traffic. This maneuver is a key safety precaution that helps to keep the vehicle steady and minimizes the risk of accidents.

In contrast, keeping the rear tires against the curb would not prevent the vehicle from rolling, as it could lead to instability if anything causes the vehicle to move. Keeping the front tires straight ahead does not provide the necessary angle to safeguard the vehicle should it start rolling. Finally, turning the steering wheel toward the curb could lead to a scenario where the vehicle may roll into oncoming traffic.
