  1. What are the dangers of driving in the blind spots of large trucks on Alberta highways?

    Answer: The truck driver cannot see you, increasing the risk of being sideswiped or cut off

    Large trucks have significant blind spots on all four sides — the right side is the largest. If you cannot see the truck driver's mirrors, they likely cannot see you. Stay out of these zones.

  2. In Alberta, what should you do when you see a 'PASSING LANE AHEAD' sign on a highway?

    Answer: Prepare for an additional lane where slower traffic should keep right and faster traffic may pass on the left

    A 'Passing Lane Ahead' sign means an additional lane is about to begin, allowing faster vehicles to pass slower ones. Slower vehicles should keep right, and passing vehicles use the left lane.

  3. What should you do if you experience a tire blowout while driving on an Alberta highway?

    Answer: Grip the steering wheel firmly, ease off the gas, and gradually steer to the shoulder

    During a blowout, grip the steering wheel firmly to maintain control, ease off the accelerator gradually (do not brake hard), and steer carefully to the shoulder. Hard braking can cause a spin.

  4. In Alberta, what is the purpose of rumble strips along highway shoulders and centre lines?

    Answer: To alert drivers through vibration and noise that they are leaving their lane

    Rumble strips are grooves cut into the pavement that create noise and vibration when driven over. They warn drivers who are drifting out of their lane, helping prevent head-on and run-off-road collisions.

  5. On Alberta highways, what should you do if an oncoming vehicle is in your lane and a head-on collision seems imminent?

    Answer: Steer right toward the shoulder or ditch — never steer into oncoming traffic

    If a head-on collision is imminent, steer right toward the shoulder or ditch. Going into the ditch is much safer than a head-on collision. Never steer left into oncoming traffic.

  6. In Alberta, what does a 'DIVIDED HIGHWAY BEGINS' sign warn you about?

    Answer: The road ahead will split into two separate roadways divided by a median

    This sign warns that the road ahead will split into two separate roadways separated by a median or barrier. You should keep to the right side of the divider.
