Sample Alberta Class 7 Test Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Alberta Class 7 Test exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Alberta, what shape and colour is a standard regulatory STOP sign?

A.A yellow diamond

B.A red octagon with white letters

C.An orange triangle

D.A green rectangle

Explanation: A STOP sign is a red octagon (eight-sided) with white letters. Its unique shape lets drivers recognize it even when it is partly hidden by snow or obstacles. You must come to a complete stop at the stop line, crosswalk or intersection.

2You approach a yellow diamond-shaped sign showing a curved arrow. What does it tell you?

A.The road ahead is closed

B.There is a sharp curve ahead, so adjust your speed

C.You must turn at the next intersection

D.Passing is permitted

Explanation: Yellow diamond signs are warning signs. A curved arrow warns of a curve or bend ahead, and you should reduce speed before entering it. Warning signs help you prepare for changing road conditions.

3In Alberta, what does an orange sign in a work area generally indicate?

A.A scenic route

B.A construction or maintenance zone

C.A bicycle lane

D.A hospital ahead

Explanation: Orange signs mark construction and maintenance (work) zones. They warn of workers, equipment, lane changes or reduced speed limits ahead. Fines for speeding in construction zones when workers are present are higher.

4A red circle with a red diagonal line through a symbol means:

A.The action shown is recommended

B.The action shown is prohibited

C.Caution is advised

D.The road is for that vehicle only

Explanation: A red circle with a diagonal slash through a symbol prohibits the action or vehicle shown, such as 'no left turn' or 'no parking'. Regulatory signs like this tell you what you must or must not do, and disobeying them is an offence.

5What must you do when a traffic signal shows a steady yellow (amber) light?

A.Speed up to clear the intersection

B.Stop if you can do so safely, because the light is about to turn red

C.Treat it as a stop sign

D.Continue at your current speed

Explanation: A steady yellow light warns that the signal is about to turn red. You must stop if you can do so safely before the stop line or crosswalk. Only continue through if stopping suddenly would be unsafe.

6At an intersection you see a flashing red traffic light. What must you do?

A.Slow down and proceed with caution

B.Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe

C.Stop only if other vehicles are present

D.Treat it as a green light

Explanation: A flashing red light has the same meaning as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, yield to other traffic and pedestrians, then proceed only when it is safe to do so.

7A flashing amber (yellow) traffic light means:

A.Stop completely before proceeding

B.Slow down and proceed with caution

C.The intersection is closed

D.Pedestrians have the right-of-way only

Explanation: A flashing amber light warns you to slow down and proceed with caution through the intersection, watching for cross traffic and pedestrians. It does not require a full stop unless conditions make stopping necessary.

8A solid green light at an intersection means you may:

A.Proceed only if turning right

B.Proceed straight or turn after yielding to pedestrians and oncoming traffic

C.Stop and wait for a green arrow

D.Proceed without yielding to anyone

Explanation: On a solid green light you may go straight through or turn, but you must first yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and, when turning left, to oncoming traffic. A green light gives permission to proceed, not absolute right-of-way.

9A green arrow pointing left while the other signal lights are red means:

A.You may turn left and oncoming traffic is stopped

B.You must yield to oncoming traffic before turning

C.You may only go straight

D.The light is malfunctioning

Explanation: A green left-turn arrow gives you a protected (advanced) turn: oncoming traffic faces a red light and is stopped, so you may complete your left turn without yielding to oncoming vehicles. You must still watch for pedestrians.

10A solid white line painted along the road generally indicates:

A.You may cross it freely to change lanes

B.It marks the edge of the road or separates lanes where changing is discouraged

C.It is a centre line for two-way traffic

D.It marks a school zone boundary

Explanation: Solid white lines mark the right edge of the roadway or separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction where lane changes are discouraged. A broken white line, by contrast, shows where lane changes are permitted.

About the Alberta Class 7 Test Exam

The Alberta Class 7 Learner's Licence Knowledge Test is the first step in Alberta's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program and is required to obtain a Class 7 learner's licence. It is a 30-question, multiple-choice, computer-based test taken at an authorized Alberta registry agent, and you must answer at least 25 questions correctly to pass. The test is based entirely on the Alberta Driver's Guide to Operation, Safety and Licensing for cars and light trucks and covers traffic signs and signals, rules of the road, right-of-way, intersections, speed limits, passing and lane use, parking, sharing the road with pedestrians, cyclists, large vehicles and emergency vehicles, GDL stages and restrictions, impaired driving penalties and safe driving practices including winter and rural driving. Applicants must be at least 14 years old and also pass a vision screening. After passing, new drivers hold the Class 7 learner's stage for at least one year and must always drive with a qualified supervising driver before they can attempt the Class 5 road test.

Assessment

30 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Alberta Driver's Guide, each with one best answer, covering traffic signs and signals, rules of the road and safe driving practices.

Time Limit

Passing Score

Exam Fee
