WC-14
Moose Crossing warns of a stretch where moose frequently cross — a uniquely dangerous animal collision because a moose's mass sits at windshield height for a car.
Warning signs alert you to hazards or changing conditions ahead.
Slow down, scan both ditches (especially at dawn, dusk, and night), and be ready to brake hard in your lane. Swerving at speed is often worse than a controlled emergency stop.
Warning signs are usually yellow diamonds with black symbols. In construction or maintenance zones they are orange instead of yellow.
Wildlife-question staples: animals are most active dawn and dusk, one animal usually means more, and controlled braking beats swerving into the opposite lane or ditch.
Road signs are one of the five areas the 30-question Alberta Class 7 knowledge test covers, and the largest block in our mock exam at 8 questions. The quickest way to find out whether you'd pass today is to take a free Alberta Class 7 practice test — same five topics as the real exam, with the explanation shown the moment you answer.
