Code High Way Hills Parking Steep Wheels
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1934 captures a scene of early motoring history, showcasing the challenges of parking on steep hills. The image depicts a car parked on a high way, with the wheels strategically set against the kerb to prevent it from rolling down the incline. This practice was part of the highway code at the time, highlighting the importance of proper parking techniques in ensuring safety and preventing accidents.
The photograph offers a glimpse into transportation norms and regulations of the past, shedding light on how motorists navigated hilly terrain and adhered to guidelines for responsible parking. The steep hills in the background add an element of drama to the composition, emphasizing the skill required to maneuver vehicles in such challenging conditions.
As we look back on this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of road safety and technology. While modern cars may have advanced features like automatic braking systems and park assist functions, there is something nostalgic and charming about these early methods of ensuring that vehicles stayed put on precarious slopes.
Overall, this print serves as a fascinating reminder of our motoring heritage and provides insight into a bygone era when setting your wheels against the kerb was not just a suggestion, but a crucial aspect of responsible driving.
