Note how these good citizens are all obeying the law by "curbing" their front wheels (which helps out the parking brake and/or "locked" transmission).

San Francisco Parking Tips: Why Curbing Your Wheels is So Important
Tuesday, November 8, 2016

To prevent runaway vehicles, local law requires drivers to curb their wheels when parking on a grade greater than 3 percent (1.72 degrees). Since most of us don’t carry a level to measure how steep a street is, it’s a good idea to make it a habit every time you parallel park.
