Speed Limits and Road Signs

- Various road signs communicate essential information, such as routes for heavy vehicles, danger warnings, and lane restrictions.
Vehicle Maneuvering and Interactions
- To back a vehicle left, a driver should look over the left shoulder with occasional glances to the front.
- When approaching an intersection with a green right-turn arrow and red light, a driver may proceed in the direction of the arrow when safe.
- It is crucial to leave extra room when passing a large truck on a two-way highway and return to your lane once the truck is no longer visible in the mirrors.
Traffic Control and Management
- Right turns on red traffic lights are allowed if there is no sign prohibiting the turn; stop, look, and yield before proceeding.
- A single solid white line in urban driving indicates that lane changing is not permitted.
- A traffic-lane control light displaying a red “X” means that travel in that lane is not allowed.
Demerit Points and Parental Consent
- A fully licensed driver in Alberta is suspended after accumulating 15 demerit points.
- A parent can withdraw previously given consent for an underage operator’s license as long as they still meet specific criteria.
Yielding and Headlight Use
