Vehicle and helmet exemptions

Overview

In Alberta, off-highway vehicle (OHV) riders must wear CSA-compliant helmets when riding on public land. Sikhs who wear turbans are exempt from this requirement.

Vehicles operating in Alberta must not have tinting material attached to the windshield and the windows to the left and right of the driver. Albertans with medical or physical condition(s) can apply for an exemption.
