please be careful where you stop if you decide to look at

areas provided for scenic viewing.

mountain or steep hill, you can do
one
more thing. You
can turn your front wheels to keep your vehicle from
rolling downhill or out into trafflc.

Parking Downhill
Turn your wheels to the right.
You don't have to jam your tires against the curb, if there
