Local tips

Edmonton West is an Alberta Motor Association (AMA) registry at 9938 170 St, and road tests here are by appointment only. Hours vary, so call 780-930-3700 before you go. Wide roads are the main thing to prepare for: 170 Street NW, about 145 m away, has four lanes and a 60 km/h limit, and 100 Avenue NW, about 205 m away, has up to five lanes at the same speed. Practice checking your blind spot before every lane change. Map data counts 39 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 220 m away, plus 37 marked crosswalks, so scan for pedestrians as you approach each corner. Edmonton Fire Station 23 is about 905 m away; if you hear a siren, pull to the right and stop. Our 45.6 km practice route heads out on 99 Avenue NW and 170 Street NW, follows Mayfield Road NW and Groat Road NW toward the university, then returns on Fox Drive NW and Whitemud Drive. Use the Whitemud Drive ramp to practice matching your speed before you join traffic.

Common questions

Edmonton West road test FAQ

What are the hours at Edmonton West?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Edmonton West at 780-930-3700 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 West'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 West?

Yes. This page has a 45.6 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
