Source document
RoadPrep's study content is derived from the Alberta Driver's Guide — Cars and Light Trucks (Spring 2026), published by the Government of Alberta, Transportation and Economic Corridors, and obtained from open.alberta.ca.
The French pages at /fr/driver-guide reproduce the province's own French edition, Guide du conducteur : conduite, sécurité et délivrance de permis : automobiles et camions légers, published by the same ministry under the same licence. It is the only translation the Government of Alberta publishes; guides sold in other languages are third-party works the province does not warrant.
Licence
That material is used under the Open Government Licence – Alberta. Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Alberta.
What is reproduced
- Guide text — the guide is split into its sections for the in-app reader, and every question cites the section it came from.
- Sign and diagram artwork — road signs and instructive illustrations, extracted from the guide's own vector artwork.
- Glossary terms — driving terms as the guide defines them.
Services this site uses
What privacy describes in plain words, named here.
- E-mail — sign-in links, reminders you asked for, and messages you send a school go out through a transactional e-mail provider chosen by whoever operates this deployment; roadprep.ca uses Brevo. Providers of this kind record whether a message was opened.
- Payments — Stripe. Card details never reach RoadPrep.
- AI coach — a large-language-model provider configured by the operator, and only when the coach is enabled. It is not configured on roadprep.ca today.
Map and city coordinates
Anywhere RoadPrep shows a map or a pin, it is built from separately licensed sources, each of which requires naming.
- City coordinates — GeoNames, used under CC BY 4.0. Alberta populated places only; the register's county entries are deliberately not placed, because a county centroid can sit tens of kilometres from the school.
- Map data — © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database Licence.
- School addresses — where a school page shows a pin, the coordinate for that address comes from the city's own parcel survey where one is published — The City of Calgary and City of Edmonton open data — and otherwise from Nominatim under the Open Database Licence. An address is pinned only when the source agrees with the provincial register; roughly a fifth resolve to nothing verifiable and are shown without a map rather than with an approximate one.Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – City of Calgary and the Open Government Licence – City of Edmonton. Neither city endorses RoadPrep or its use of their data.
- Tiles — OpenFreeMap, serving the OpenMapTiles schema. Tiles are fetched by your browser only when you open the map — see privacy.
How it was modified
Guide text was extracted and reflowed into sections; artwork was clipped from the source pages and rendered as images at screen resolution. Question wording, answer options and explanations are RoadPrep's, written from the guide's statements — they are not reproductions of official test questions, which are not published.
Rules confirmed elsewhere
A few figures the guide does not state outright are taken from other Government of Alberta pages — the knowledge test's 30 questions and pass mark of 25 from alberta.ca, and the Class 5 road test's maximum of 75 points from Alberta Transportation. Road-test deduction values are modelled, not official: Alberta does not publish per-error point values, and the app says so where it scores.
No endorsement
RoadPrep is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by the Government of Alberta, Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors, or any registry agent. Passing a RoadPrep exam simulation is not a prediction of a real test result.
