In Alberta, what is the correct procedure when you want to turn left at an intersection with a median?
Answer: Turn left beyond the centre of the intersection, passing behind the median
When turning left at an intersection with a median, you should pass beyond the centre of the intersection and the median before completing your left turn, to avoid cutting the corner.
When a traffic control person (flagperson) gives you directions that conflict with a traffic sign at an intersection in Alberta, who should you obey?
Answer: The traffic control person
A traffic control person's directions override traffic signs and signals. They have the legal authority to direct traffic, and you must follow their instructions.
In Alberta, what is a channelized intersection?
Answer: An intersection where traffic islands and markings guide vehicles into specific paths
A channelized intersection uses traffic islands, raised medians, and pavement markings to guide vehicles into specific travel paths. This improves traffic flow and reduces conflict points.
At an intersection in Alberta, you are turning left and an oncoming vehicle is turning right into the same road. Who has the right of way?
Answer: Both can turn at the same time into their respective lanes
Both vehicles can often complete their turns simultaneously if each turns into the correct lane. The left-turning vehicle enters the far lane and the right-turning vehicle enters the near lane.
In Alberta, what should you do if you accidentally enter a wrong lane at an intersection and the light turns green?
Answer: Proceed through the intersection following the lane markings and make corrections after
If you are in the wrong lane when the light turns green, proceed safely through the intersection following the lane you are in. Make corrections by turning around or finding an alternate route afterward.
In Alberta, when approaching an intersection where you intend to turn, at what point should you be in the correct lane?
Answer: At least half a block (50 metres) before the intersection
You should move into the correct lane well in advance of the intersection — at least half a block or 50 metres before. This gives other drivers time to anticipate your turn.
