Local tips
The AMA's Edmonton South location is at 10310 G.A. MacDonald (39A) Ave, between two roads that carry Highway 2. Gateway Boulevard NW is about 80 m away and Calgary Trail NW about 160 m away, both posted at 60 km/h. Hours vary, so call 780-430-2458 before you go, and road tests are by appointment. Map data shows railway level crossings about 435 m and 510 m from the office, and more about 975 m away. Slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Whitemud Drive NW, three lanes at 80 km/h, is about 495 m away, and there are 32 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 230 m off. Bridges on Gateway Boulevard NW and Calgary Trail NW are about 450 m and 480 m away. Our 35.3 km practice route uses G A MacDonald Avenue NW and Calgary Trail NW to reach 23 Avenue and 119 Street NW, then 72 Avenue NW, 109 Street NW and 61 Avenue NW, later adding 106 Street NW and 70 Avenue NW. On Calgary Trail, practice picking the correct lane early for each exit.
Common questions
Edmonton South road test FAQ
What are the hours at Edmonton South?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Edmonton South at 780-430-2458 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Edmonton South's road test booking page (the "Official booking" button on this page, also listed on alberta.ca), or in person at the registry. You'll need your 9-digit MVID number, printed near the barcode on your licence, and any outstanding Government of Alberta fines must be paid first. Registry agents set their own road test fees, up to the maximum in the province's Registry Agent Product Catalogue, so confirm the fee when you book.
What do I need for the road test?
A vehicle that meets all legal and safety requirements, plus the documents listed on the registry's road test information sheet and in your confirmation letter. The information sheet also covers eligibility, fees, and the registry's cancellation and no-show policies.
How long do I need my learner's licence first, and how is the test marked?
You must have held a Class 7 learner's licence for at least one year and be at least 16 (with a parent's or guardian's written consent if you're under 18). You fail the Class 5 road test with more than 75 points, or automatically if you endanger someone, drive unsafely or break traffic laws. After you pass the road test and a vision test, you get a probationary Class 5-GDL licence, which you hold for at least two years.
Is a practice route available for Edmonton South?
Yes. This page has a 35.3 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
