Traffic lights · Right turn · Alberta Class 5 road test
The car waiting beside you blocks the view to the left; stop, then creep forward slowly
Watch the interactive demoHow to drive it
Right turn on red + the left-turner waiting at its red beside you blocks the view to the left; stop completely, then creep forward slowly + two cars from the west approach
In the correct demo, you yield to:
- Vehicle from the left going straight — Turning: yield to traffic going straight. Forcing a right turn ahead of a car going straight invites a side impact and violates its right-of-way.
Common mistakes
Turned without creeping forward
Road test: automatic fail — L13 Unsafe action
Nothing was hit this time (just 0.1 m apart at closest approach), but it's still an automatic fail. When your view is blocked, creep forward slowly until you can see clearly before you go; pulling out without creeping means that by the time you see approaching traffic, you're already blocking its path.
