When parking headed downhill, it is best to turn your front wheels toward the curb and set the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street. To determine the highest speed at which you could stop before hitting a child 65 to 70 feet ahead, you should consider your vehicle's stopping distance. At a speed of approximately 20 mph, the total stopping distance (including perception and reaction time) is about 60 feet, which suggests you could stop safely within that distance. However, at higher speeds, the stopping distance increases significantly, making it unsafe to drive faster than 20 mph in this scenario.
reverse and set the parking brake.
