Explanation

A vehicle combination parked on a steep slope must be secured with wheel chocks, never with stones, or by resting a steering wheel against the kerb: turned towards the centre of the carriageway if the slope goes uphill and away from it if it goes downhill (Article 92.3 of the General Traffic Regulations).
