Because Airdrie experiences varying weather conditions throughout the year, including harsh winters, it is advisable to choose a car that can handle snowy and icy conditions. Consider a vehicle with features like all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) for better traction and stability on slippery roads. On the other hand, Airdrie is a relatively small city, so opting for a smaller or compact car can be advantageous. These vehicles are easier to manoeuvre on narrow streets and find parking in tight spaces, particularly in the city centre.

The speed limit in residential areas is generally 30 km/h (18 mph). This reduced speed helps ensure the safety of residents, pedestrians, and children playing in residential neighbourhoods.
