DriveTest centre
Ottawa Walkley
Ottawa's main full-service centre. Watch for gateway speed signs into neighbourhoods.
Gateway speed limits
Ottawa sets 40 or 30 km/h areas inside some neighbourhoods. A gateway sign at the entrance gives the limit for every street inside. Hold it until you pass an end sign.
No sign? 50
In a town or city, the limit is 50 km/h unless a sign says otherwise. Watch for area signs that lower it.
About routes
DriveTest doesn't publish routes, and examiners change them. This page describes the area, not a route.
