Local tips
In Grimshaw you will be stopping at signs rather than lights. Map data finds no traffic lights within a kilometre of Grimshaw Registry at 4908 57 Ave, but 24 stop signs in the surrounding area. Come to a full stop behind the line every time and look both ways before moving off. The nearest railway level crossing is about 225 metres away, with others at about 660 metres and 1.1 km; slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. 51 Street, which carries Highway 2, is about 90 metres from the registry and has four lanes, so pick your lane early. Grimshaw Fire Hall is about 340 metres away, so be ready to pull over for fire trucks. Hours vary at this registry; call 780-332-2886 to confirm, and book your road test by appointment. Our 49.2 km practice route uses 51 Street (Highway 2), Highway 684, Range Road 233, Highway 2A and Highway 685, finishing on 57 Avenue. Those highway stretches are a good chance to practice smooth speed changes as you leave and re-enter town.
Common questions
Grimshaw Registry road test FAQ
What are the hours at Grimshaw Registry?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Grimshaw Registry at 780-332-2886 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Grimshaw Registry'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 Grimshaw Registry?
Yes. This page has a 49.2 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
