the kerb (edge of the sidewalk), so I can only park pointed directly uphill, or directly downhill. Often there's no space to even park a few degrees away from parallel. I should add that I park on the hill only when it's ABSOLUTELY necessary.

To try and clarify it even further - we often get tourists strolling along these "quaint li'l paths", not realising that they're our main roads out of the mountains.It's so bad, they've slapped a 40k/hr (25 mph) speed limit on these roads.
