Local tips
The Alberta Motor Association office at 141 - 2004 50 Ave in Red Deer has multi-lane roads close by. 19 Street, which carries Highway 2A, is about 80 m away, and Gaetz Avenue about 185 m away; both are four lanes and posted at 60 km/h. Taylor Drive, about 310 m off, rises to 70 km/h. Map data counts 42 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 85 m from the office, and 34 marked crosswalks within 800 m. Settle into your lane early and check your blind spot before every lane change. Destiny Christian School is about 870 m away, so watch for students on weekdays. Hours vary from office to office, so call 403-342-6761 to confirm before you go; road tests are by appointment. Our 14.7 km practice route follows 19 Street to the ramp toward Edmonton, takes exit 397 onto 32 Street, continues on C&E Trail and Range Road 280, then returns by Township Road 374 and Highway 2A. It's short enough to drive twice, so use the second run to perfect your merge on the ramp.
Common questions
Red Deer road test FAQ
What are the hours at Red Deer?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Red Deer at 403-342-6761 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Red Deer'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?
Yes. This page has a 14.7 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
