  1. What speed should you drive when approaching a crosswalk with pedestrians waiting in Alberta?

    Answer: A reduced speed that allows you to stop safely for pedestrians

    You must reduce your speed when approaching crosswalks so you can stop safely if pedestrians are crossing or waiting to cross. Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks.

  2. In Alberta, a road has both a school zone sign and a playground zone sign in the same area. Which speed limit applies?

    Answer: Whichever speed limit is lowest and currently in effect

    When both zones overlap, the speed limit that is currently in effect and is lowest applies. Since playground zones have longer hours of enforcement, they often govern when school zone hours have ended.

  3. What is the penalty range for speeding in Alberta?

    Answer: $78 to over $2,000 depending on how much over the limit you were

    Alberta speeding fines are graduated based on how far over the limit you were driving. Minor infractions start around $78, while excessive speeding can result in fines over $2,000 plus possible licence suspension.

  4. In Alberta, can photo radar be used to enforce speed limits?

    Answer: Yes, municipalities can use photo radar for speed enforcement

    Alberta municipalities are permitted to use photo radar for speed enforcement. Photo radar is commonly used in school zones, playground zones, construction zones, and other high-risk areas.

  5. What is the speed limit when driving through a parking lot in Alberta?

    Answer: The posted lot speed, typically 15–20 km/h, or a safe and reasonable speed

    While private parking lots may have posted speed limits (typically 15–20 km/h), drivers must always travel at a safe and reasonable speed. Pedestrians have the right of way in parking lots.

  6. How many demerit points can you receive for excessive speeding (more than 50 km/h over the limit) in Alberta?

    Answer: 6 demerit points

    Speeding more than 50 km/h over the posted limit in Alberta can result in 6 demerit points, a substantial fine, and potentially having your vehicle seized and licence suspended.
