Local tips
Map data shows railway level crossings just about 110 m to 120 m from the AMA Calgary Sunridge registry at 3650 20 Ave NE, with another pair about 430 m away. At every one, slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Signals are plentiful too: 47 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 95 m away, and 90 marked crosswalks. The Peter Lougheed Centre hospital is about 800 m from the registry, so be ready to pull over when an ambulance approaches. 36 Street NE, about 85 m away, has a 60 km/h limit. Road tests are by appointment and hours vary; phone 403-293-8288 before you go. Our 7.3 km practice route is short and easy to repeat: it leaves on 20 Avenue NE, turns to 32 Street NE and 32 Avenue NE, follows Barlow Trail NE to the 1 East ramp, then takes the exit toward 36 Street and finishes on Rundlehorn Drive NE. Practice matching speed on the ramp and getting into position early for the exit.
Common questions
Sunridge road test FAQ
What are the hours at Sunridge?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Calgary Sunridge at 403-293-8288 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Calgary Sunridge'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 Sunridge?
Yes. This page has a 7.3 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
