Traffic Signs & Signals: Alberta Class 7 License

Regulatory, warning and guide signs, plus traffic light and pavement marking questions.

How this topic is tested

The Canada Alberta Class 7 License knowledge test draws questions on traffic signs & signals directly from the official driver's handbook. The questions below are the ones learners get wrong most often, so work through the explanation on each page rather than memorising the answer letter.

Learn the shape first, then the colour: octagon is always stop, triangle is yield, diamond warns. New York fails people who miss two of four sign questions even with a high overall score.
