Local tips

Expect to meet a roundabout early when leaving Red Deer Registries at 7101 - 20 Sharpe Ave. Map data shows one about 380 metres away and another about 690 metres away. Slow down on approach, yield to traffic already in the circle and signal before your exit. 19 Street, which carries Highway 595, is about 190 metres away and posted at 60 km/h, as is 40 Avenue about 680 metres away. There are 22 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 200 metres away, and 20 marked crosswalks, so check for pedestrians at every corner. Registry hours vary, so call 403-347-3570 to confirm; road tests are by appointment. Our 34.5 km practice route starts on Sharpe Street and 19 Street, follows Taylor Drive, Kerry Wood Drive and Gaetz Avenue (Highway 2A) into the city, then heads out on Township Road 382 and Range Road 270 before finishing through a roundabout on 19 Street. The mix of city streets and rural roads makes it good practice for adjusting your speed as conditions change.

Common questions

Red Deer Registries road test FAQ

What are the hours at Red Deer Registries?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Red Deer Registries at 403-347-3570 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Red Deer Registries'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 Red Deer Registries?

Yes. This page has a 34.5 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
