Local tips

The AMA Calgary Westbrook registry is at Unit 7, 1200 37 Street SW, and the first traffic light is only about 80 m away. 37 Street SW runs about 75 m from the door at 50 km/h, and Bow Trail SW, about 295 m away, is posted at 60 km/h. Map data counts 21 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, along with 46 marked crosswalks and 34 stop signs nearby. Roundabouts lie about 790 m and 1.1 km away: yield to traffic already in them and signal as you exit. St. Michael School, about 705 m away, means watching for students on weekdays, and Fire Station 8 (Rosscarrock) is about 780 m off, so be ready to pull over. Road tests are by appointment and hours vary; call 866-989-6370 to confirm. Our 39.5 km practice route turns onto Bow Trail SW, then 26 Street SW and 17 Avenue SW, follows Glenmore Trail to the Elbow Drive exit, and loops along Elbow Drive SW and Sifton Boulevard SW before the Glenmore Trail West ramp brings you back. Practice changing lanes smoothly with a shoulder check on Glenmore Trail.

Common questions

Westbrook road test FAQ

What are the hours at Westbrook?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Calgary Westbrook at 866-989-6370 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 Westbrook'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 Westbrook?

Yes. This page has a 39.5 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
