Huh? Assuming you're parking normally, on the right, wheels are turned left when uphill, turned right when downhill. Always so the front wheels will hit the curb if the vehicle moves. If no curb, then point the wheels in the direction which would cause the least damage (which usually means going off to the side).

Ya, overstated that � in this case there was no curb, only a small lip to direct rain water.
Most Vehicle Operator Manuals say, in that kind of situation, to turn the wheels to the right
so that if they vehicle coasts backwards for any reason, it will be directed away from the road.
Curbs are great stoppers, if there are any.
