ALBERTA'S BEST DRIVERS IN THE
FIRST QUARTER OF 2026 WERE
ZONE 4 DRIVERS
ZONE 4 DRIVERS WERE ALSO BEST DRIVERS IN 2025
The website identifies Alberta's best drivers during 2025 and later. It does this by dividing Alberta into six collision zones, then determines which collision zone had the lowest collision rate and which collision zone produced the lowest direct collision costs per capita. The drivers in those collision zones are Alberta's best.
To determine your collision zone, go to the ZONE INFORMATION page.
To determine if you were in the best drivers group, or how close you were to it, continue down the page to Table A-2026.
The website also has collision numbers for several highways being considered for a posted speed of 120 km/h. That data is on the 120 KM/H CANDIDATES page.
The six Collision Zones are described on the ZONE INFORMATION page.
Collision numbers (See Table B-2026 below.) were obtained quarterly from Alberta police services. First quarter collision numbers for Calgary are late and will be entered when received. Camrose and Lethbridge collision numbers have been refused so far.
RPDO Collisions are Reportable Property Damage Only Collisions.
Population numbers for the collision zone areas were determined from Statistics Canada Table 35-10-0183-01 (Incident-based crime statistics, by detailed violations, police services in Alberta).
Direct Cost of collisions was determined by multiplying fatal collisions by $287,000, injury collisions by $61,600, and RPDO collisions by $17,900. These unit direct costs were determined from Table ES-1 of the 2017 report "Collision Cost Study Update: FINAL Report", Prepared for Capital Region Intersection Safety Partnership by Paul de Leur, PhD, P.Eng., de Leur Consulting Ltd., then inflated to 2025 $CDN.
BEST ALBERTA DRIVERS IN 2025: ZONE 4 DRIVERS
Zone 4 Drivers had the lowest total collision rate and
generated the lowest per capita direct collision cost.
