Rustic Stars, at 5104 50 St, is about 125 m from 49 Street, which carries Highway 881. A bridge on 49 Street is about 230 m away, so keep to your lane and hold a steady speed as you cross.

A school is about 430 m away, which means watching for students on weekdays.

Our 47.7 km practice route heads southeast on 51 Avenue, turns onto 49 Street and Highway 881, then uses Township Road 434, Range Road 102 and Range Road 103 before joining Highway 13 and coming back into town on 49 Street. On Highway 13, practice judging gaps carefully when you turn on and off, and signal well before each rural turn.
Common questions
Rustic Stars road test FAQ
What are the hours at Rustic Stars?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Rustic Stars at 780-888-0008 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Rustic Stars'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 Rustic Stars?
Yes. This page has a 47.7 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
