hand, or by a suitable mechanical device.

No vehicle of any kind or description shall be parked with
any of the wheels thereof on the paved or improved part of any
public highway of this State, outside of the corporate limits
of any municipality, at or near the top of any hill, nor near,
on, or within any curve, where the view to the front or rear
