How to Read Alberta Road Signs
Shape Tells You the Type
Octagon = stop. Triangle = yield. Diamond = warning. Rectangle = regulatory or information. Pentagon = school zone.
Colour Tells You the Message
Red = stop/prohibition. Yellow = warning. Green = direction/guide. Blue = services. Orange = construction. Fluorescent yellow-green = school/pedestrian.
Signs You Must Obey vs. Advisory Signs
Regulatory signs (speed limits, stop, yield) are legally enforceable. Warning signs advise caution but are not enforceable. Advisory speed tabs on warning signs are recommended, not mandatory.
All Alberta Road Sign Categories
Traffic Signals You Must Know
Solid Green
Proceed if the intersection is clear. Yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection.
Solid Yellow
Stop safely if you can. If you're too close to stop safely, proceed with caution through the intersection.
Solid Red
Come to a complete stop. You may turn right on red after stopping, unless a sign prohibits it.
Flashing Green (Alberta)
Pedestrian-controlled intersection. The light will change when a pedestrian pushes the button. Not the same as a green arrow.
Green Arrow
Protected turn in the arrow's direction. Oncoming traffic has a red light. Proceed without yielding.
Flashing Red
Treat as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe.
