When parking a school bus uphill with a curb, which way should you turn your wheels?

When parking a school bus uphill with a curb, turning the wheels to the left is the correct action. This positioning ensures that if the bus were to roll away, it would roll back into the curb rather than into traffic, providing a safety barrier. By turning the wheels away from the curb, the front of the bus is directed towards the street, which could lead to a more dangerous situation if the bus were to start rolling.

Turning the wheels to the left effectively uses the curb as a physical stop, minimizing risk to pedestrians and other vehicles. In contrast, if the wheels were turned to the right or maintained a straight position, there would be an increased risk of the bus rolling into traffic, creating potential hazards for both the bus and surrounding areas.
