  1. In Alberta, what is the rule for passing on a highway with a solid yellow centre line on your side?

    Answer: You must not pass — a solid yellow line on your side means no passing

    A solid yellow centre line on your side of the road means passing is prohibited. You may only pass when you have a broken (dashed) yellow line on your side.

  2. What should you do when being passed by another vehicle on an Alberta highway?

    Answer: Maintain your speed or slow down slightly to let them pass safely

    When being passed, maintain a steady speed or slow down slightly to help the other driver complete the pass safely. Never speed up when someone is passing you.

  3. On Alberta highways, when is it safe to pass another vehicle?

    Answer: When you have a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead and a broken centre line on your side

    You may pass when you have a broken yellow centre line on your side, a clear view of the road ahead with no oncoming traffic, and enough distance to complete the pass safely.

  4. What is 'highway hypnosis' and how should you prevent it while driving in Alberta?

    Answer: A drowsy, trance-like state from monotonous driving — prevent it by taking breaks and staying alert

    Highway hypnosis is a trance-like state caused by the monotony of long highway driving. Prevent it by taking regular breaks, varying your speed slightly, staying hydrated, and keeping the vehicle cool.

  5. In Alberta, what should you do if a large truck is following you too closely on the highway?

    Answer: Move to the right and let them pass when safe

    If a large truck is tailgating you, safely move to the right lane and let them pass. Large trucks need more distance to stop, so a tailgating truck is a serious safety risk.

  6. When driving on a highway in Alberta, what does a 'TRUCKS MUST USE RIGHT LANE' sign mean?

    Answer: Large trucks must drive in the right lane except when passing

    This sign requires large trucks to travel in the right lane. Trucks may use the left lane only for passing slower traffic. This keeps the left lane clear for faster-moving vehicles.
