Study Notes
Alberta Basic Licence Drivers Assessment
- Basic speed limit outside of urban areas on primary highways is typically 100 km/h unless posted otherwise.
- When backing left, a driver should look over the left shoulder and occasionally check the front.
- At an intersection with a green right-turn arrow and red light, a driver may proceed in the arrow's direction once safe.
- A fully licensed driver accumulates 12 demerit points before suspension under Alberta's demerit point system.
- When passing a large truck, a driver should leave extra room before returning to their lane for safety.
- For right turns at a red light, a driver must signal, ensure no sign prohibits the turn, and yield to pedestrians.
- Specific road signs indicate routes for dangerous goods, slow-moving vehicles, and reserved lanes for buses.
- A solid white line between lanes means lane changing is not permitted.
- "Parking lane" is defined as the part of the road adjacent to a solid white line where parking is allowed.
- "Shoulder checking" involves glancing into the blind spot before changing lanes.
- A flashing red traffic light requires drivers to stop and proceed only when safe.
- A Yield sign requires yielding to traffic and pedestrians in the intersection.
- "Over-driving" headlights means a driver cannot see far enough to stop safely at their current speed.
- Under the Graduated Driver Licensing program, 2 demerits are issued for failing to wear a seat belt securely.
- The 2-second rule helps maintain safe following distance at any driving speed.
- Signs indicating roadway conditions include markings for slippery roads and children playing zones.
- Seat belt laws require drivers to ensure all passengers are belted in under the age of 16 years.
- Vehicles should be parked within 30 centimeters of the curb in parallel parking.
- Drivers must report any medical conditions that affect driving ability, as it is their responsibility.
- School zones have specific speed limits in effect during school hours, commonly from 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M..
- Emergency vehicles must be given space: drivers should move as close as possible to the right edge and stop.
- Proper braking technique includes applying pressure, easing off before stopping, and adjusting as needed.
- Playground zones are treated as active areas for children and the speed limit must be obeyed at all times.
- Flashing yellow lights signal drivers to proceed with caution.
- When vehicles approach at a T intersection, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way.
- A vehicle’s front wheels should be turned to the left when parked uphill with a curb.
- At intersections, dual turns are allowed only when marked by signs or roadway markings.
- It's crucial to scan the road approximately 12 to 15 seconds ahead in urban areas to enhance safety.
- Legally park at least 5 metres away from a stop sign.### Driving Speeds
- Maintain appropriate speeds under various driving conditions, including minimum speeds for highways and maximum speeds in favorable conditions.
- Understand maximum speeds allowed except when passing other vehicles.
Uncontrolled Intersections
- An uncontrolled intersection lacks traffic control signals and signs, requiring extra caution from drivers.
Road Signs
- A specific sign indicates a sharp curve ahead, while others may indicate vehicular restrictions or lane usage.
- Familiarize with signs indicating merging traffic or warnings about railway crossings.
Turning at Traffic Lights
- Right turns on red lights are permitted if conditions allow, provided no prohibitive signs exist.
Pedestrian and School Bus Regulations
- Vehicles must yield to pedestrians crossing, especially when a school bus is displaying warning signals.
- When stopped for a school bus with flashing lights, vehicles must be prepared to stop for student safety.
Visibility and Headlight Usage
- In reduced visibility conditions such as fog or snow, use low beam headlights for better clarity.
Curve Navigation
- Proper technique for navigating curves includes reducing speed before entering and gently accelerating while exiting.
Parking and Rehabilitation
- A vehicle exiting a parking lot must come to a complete stop before merging into traffic.
- Angle parking requires the vehicle's front wheel to be positioned within specific distance limits from the curb.
School Zones and Pedestrian Crossings
- Understand the speed limits in school zones during designated hours for safety.
- Recognize pedestrian signals, such as a raised arm indicating the need for drivers to stop and yield.
Driving and Safety Practices
- Yield right-of-way during funeral processions and exercise caution when passing large vehicles like log trucks.
- Maintain safe distance from fire hydrants when parking.
Traffic Control Signals
- A yellow light indicates caution, prompting drivers to stop unless it’s unsafe to do so.
- A solid yellow line combined with a broken yellow line designates passing rules based on the driver's location relative to the lines.
Distances and Regulations
- Adhere to minimum parking distances from fire hydrants and recognize the significance of signs indicating construction or hazards on the road.
Vehicle Follow and Passing Etiquette
- If being followed closely by another vehicle intending to pass, drivers should maintain their lane and position appropriately to facilitate safe passing.
