Local tips

The Alberta Motor Association's Calgary Willowpark office is at 524 - 10816 Macleod Trail SE, and Macleod Trail S, five lanes wide and posted at 70 km/h, is only about 45 metres away. Choose your lane early and check your blind spot before every change. The area has a lot of controls: 51 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 90 metres away, plus 77 stop signs and 73 marked crosswalks. Map data shows six railway level crossings between about 615 and 625 metres away; slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. A school listed as Code Ninjas Willow Park is about 75 metres away and Willow Park School about 720 metres away, so watch for students on weekdays. Hours vary, so call 403-724-6063 to confirm, and road tests are by appointment. Our 58.0 km practice route follows Macleod Trail S, Heritage Drive SE, Blackfoot Trail SE and Southland Drive SE, takes the ramp onto Deerfoot Trail and an exit toward Stoney Trail, and later uses Douglasdale Boulevard and 130 Avenue SE. Practice merging on the Deerfoot ramp.

Common questions

Willowpark road test FAQ

What are the hours at Willowpark?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Calgary Willowpark at 403-724-6063 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 Willowpark'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 Willowpark?

Yes. This page has a 58.0 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
