Here you go. It's called the Alberta Drivers Handbook:

Just had a thought that you were looking for the actual book, not the online version. They aren't for sale, they are free at any registry office.

brilliant thank you soooo much!
just thought ill be driving police cars soon and know none of the laws!

Re: Drivers Handbook - Alberta
 

Good for you to be brushing up on our rules of the road.:thumbup:

But I'm pretty sure whatever police department you're going to be working with would have gone over the rules before they turned you loose on an unsuspecting public. ;)

ha not with my current force!
expected to know everything already
the whole idea of turning right at red lights in alien to me!

Re: Drivers Handbook - Alberta
 

You get used to that pretty quick. :thumbsup:

especially when you can see the person behind in your rear view mirror mouthing obcenities at you :)

Here in town at the main shopping areas, people at GREEN traffic lights assume they have the right of way to turn LEFT after every oncoming car :eek:

Hi Paul,
I have copy of the car and truck version, I will give them to you when we meet up. They are free and you can pick them up at many different locations.

I found that pretty easy to get used to. The confusing one is pedestrians having a green man at the same time that drivers have a green light!:blink: How I yearn for the days when green meant go and red meant stop, without all the ifs and buts!

Re: Drivers Handbook - Alberta
 

About a year and a half ago Calgary experimented with a "Scramble Intersection" in the Eau Clair area. The lights would be red in all directions for a period and pedestrians could cross the intersection however they wanted.

I have no idea if the experiment is ongoing or was shut down.

I've heard nothing more about it and I don't go to that area of the down town core.

Err, they do, if there's enough space before the oncoming car after that.
