Can't remember the last time I went through an uncontrolled intersection. My neighborhood has yield signs or stop signs at pretty much every single intersection.

Also, not sure if it is in Alberta, but some other provinces lane changes in an intersection is technically not illegal, just considered unsafe and if you cause an accident you'll be at fault.

Another one that needs clarifying is the turning left into the first available lane. That is not always true. For example the Shag bridge over Crowchild has dotted lines that designate that you turn into the 3rd and 4th lanes because the first two exit right away again.

Now one that REALLY bothers me is when an intersection that has a 4 way stops also has the right turn lanes with yield signs. I don't know if that is clear explanation but the jist of it is that if I stop at the 4 ways stop and I'm turning left, the guy heading in towards me turns right and has a yield sign it does not mean that he has the effing right of way just because I have a stop sign and he has a yield. If that was true, a person could get stuck at a 4 way stop for eons because there could be tons of cars turning right.

Not sure if that makes sense without me drawing a pic in MSPaint but I'm too lazy to do that so you'll have to bear with me.
