Ghana DVLA Road Signs Test study plan
Ghana DVLA Road Signs Test · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Regulatory Signs & Warning Signs
Classify all regulatory sign families by shape, colour and border type (prohibition, mandatory, restriction, stop/yield) and state the driver action each demands
Sketch from memory the 15 regulatory signs you find hardest and label each with its exact meaning
Build a two-column table matching each warning sign shape (triangle, diamond, circle) to its hazard category and required speed or lane response
Explain aloud, without notes, the difference between a warning sign and a regulatory sign for five paired examples
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn flashcard set of 40 signs (20 regulatory, 20 warning) with meaning and required action written on the reverse
Regulatory Signs & Warning Signs
Identify every prohibition sign that is cancelled by a supplementary plate and describe how the plate changes the rule
Distinguish mandatory-direction signs from warning signs that use similar arrows
Rank warning signs by the stopping-distance risk they imply and justify the ranking in writing
Self-test on 60 mixed regulatory and warning items and log every miss with the reason for the error
Your checkpoint
An error log listing at least 15 missed items with a corrected one-line rule for each
Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Regulatory Signs
Decode each road marking type (broken, solid, double, hatched, box junction, stop line) and state whether crossing it is legal, illegal, or conditional
Match traffic light aspects, including flashing amber and filter arrows, to the correct driver response
Explain how markings and regulatory signs combine at junctions, and which one takes precedence when they appear to conflict
Draw a four-way junction from memory showing stop lines, give-way markings, and a box junction with correct lane arrows
Your checkpoint
A one-page annotated junction diagram with at least 10 markings and signals correctly labelled
Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Road Safety
Apply marking and signal rules to 30 scenario questions about junctions, pedestrian crossings and overtaking
State the correct following-distance and safe-speed reasoning for wet, harmattan-dust and night conditions
List the right-of-way sequence at an uncontrolled T-junction using markings alone
Recite the actions required at a zebra crossing and at a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing
Your checkpoint
A timed 40-question mock covering domains 3 and 4, scored and reviewed question by question
Safe Driving and Road Safety & Warning Signs
Describe the correct response to each major warning-sign hazard (bend, slippery road, school zone, cattle, road narrowing) in terms of speed, gear and lane position
Explain the effects of alcohol, fatigue and phone use on reaction distance with a worked stopping-distance example
Outline the legal and safety obligations after a collision, including stopping, reporting and first aid priorities
Identify the warning signs most often misread as permission signs and write a correction for each
Your checkpoint
A written hazard-response sheet pairing 12 warning signs with a three-step driver action
Regulatory Signs & Safe Driving and Road Safety
Link each regulatory sign to the specific offence or penalty risk of ignoring it
Explain how regulatory signs govern parking, loading, overtaking and speed limits in built-up versus highway settings
Summarise the core rules on seat belts, child restraints, licensing classes and vehicle fitness checks
Answer 25 mixed regulatory and safety questions under time pressure and score at least 80 per cent
Your checkpoint
A scored 25-question quiz with a written note on every question answered incorrectly
Warning Signs & Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Road Safety
Run full-length timed mocks across all four domains and record the score for each attempt
Categorise every remaining error by domain and by failure type (misread sign, forgotten rule, careless slip)
Re-drill only the weakest 20 per cent of items until each is answered correctly twice in a row
Practise reading sign descriptions aloud and converting each into an action within three seconds
Your checkpoint
A score tracker showing at least three mock attempts with a rising trend and a list of mastered weak items
Regulatory Signs & Warning Signs & Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Road Safety
Review all four domains using only your error logs and flashcards, not new material
Complete two final timed mocks and score at least 90 per cent on both
Recite the meaning and required action for your 30 hardest signs from memory
Confirm test-day logistics: documents, location, arrival time and the format of the computer-based test
Your checkpoint
Two final mock scores of 90 per cent or above plus a one-page test-day checklist
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 75 per cent on a 60-item mixed regulatory and warning sign self-test, with an error log written for every miss
Week 4: Score at least 80 per cent on a timed 40-question mock covering road markings, signals and safe driving
Week 6: Score at least 80 per cent on a timed 25-question regulatory and safety quiz and explain every corrected answer aloud
Week 8: Score at least 90 per cent on two consecutive full-length timed mocks across all four domains
