    Study Notes

    Driving Procedures and Regulations

    • Vehicles should always stop as close as possible to the right curb or edge of the road.
    • Recommended braking technique involves applying brake pressure, easing off slightly before stopping, and then reapplying pressure as necessary.

    Seat Belt Laws in Alberta

    • Seat belts must be worn properly at all times, regardless of vehicle occupancy or speed.

    Road Signs Interpretation

    • Specific road signs indicate restrictions; for example, a no entry sign means no vehicles allowed.
    • Certain signs denote traffic rules, such as those indicating that drivers must yield when entering a traffic circle.

    Traffic Circles and Intersections

    • Drivers entering a traffic circle must yield to vehicles already in the circle.
    • At an uncontrolled "T" intersection, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way.

    Lanes and Turns

    • When turning left from a two-way road onto a one-way road, enter the lane nearest the left curb.
    • A deceleration lane is designed for reducing speed when exiting a highway.

    Reversing and Parking

    • For reversing in a straight line, maintain both hands on the steering wheel and use mirrors for guidance.
    • When parked uphill on a two-way road with a curb, front wheels should be turned to the left to prevent rolling into traffic.

    School Buses and Zones

    • When approaching a stopped school bus with flashing lights, a driver must stop behind the bus until the lights stop flashing.

    Speed Limits and Traffic Lights

    • School zone speed limits are effective on school days during specified hours.
    • A flashing yellow traffic light warns drivers to proceed with caution.

    Visibility and Scanning in Urban Areas

    • Drivers should scan the road approximately 12 to 15 seconds ahead in urban settings for hazards.

    Parking Regulations

    • Legal parking distance from a stop sign is 5 meters.
    • Parking in spaces reserved for individuals with disabilities is permitted only with proper identification.

    Headlight Use

    • Headlights must be dimmed at a minimum distance of 150 meters when approaching another vehicle from behind.

    Passing and Vehicle Interactions

    • It is unsafe to pass a loaded log-haul truck turning due to potential blockages from the logs.
    • When in an acceleration lane, drivers should be prepared to adjust speed if another vehicle merges in.

    Funeral Procession and Right-of-Way

    • Drivers must yield the right-of-way to funeral processions and avoid breaking through.

    Vehicle Control

    • If right tires leave the paved roadway, ease off the gas, maintain grip on the steering wheel, and gradually return to the road rather than braking suddenly.
