About the Guinea Code de la Route Exam
The Examen du Code de la Route is the mandatory theoretical examination required to obtain a driver's licence in the Republic of Guinea, including the standard light-vehicle Category B licence. The legal framework is governed by Loi L/2018/023/AN du 20 juin 2018 portant Code de la route de la République de Guinée, administered under the authority of the Ministère des Transports and its Direction Nationale des Transports Terrestres (DNTT). Modernization of the licensing process is managed through the Système Intégré de Gestion du Permis de Conduire (SIGPC) in partnership with Thomas Greg & Sons, producing secure biometric credit-card format driving licences. Prospective drivers must complete mandatory instruction at an approved auto-école and undergo a medical examination before presenting for the theoretical examination. The test covers road signs (danger, prohibition, obligation, indication), road markings, right-of-way rules including priorité à droite and roundabout circulation, speed limits (50 km/h in built-up areas), mandatory vehicle equipment, alcohol and substance prohibitions, and accident response. Passing the theory is only the first stage: candidates must then take the practical driving test before a DNTT examiner. Official testing is conducted in French, and DNTT does not publish the item format, item count, duration or pass mark of the theory paper. This free 100-question English MCQ bank is a study adaptation of the Guinean highway code. It is not an official translation, it does not reproduce the format of the DNTT paper, and it cannot stand in for behind-the-wheel instruction or the practical test, though its questions on priority, safe speed, overtaking, lighting and accident duties cover the judgement the practical examiner is assessing.

Both are sat before DNTT, which is connected to the SIGPC system. Official assessment is conducted in French, and DNTT does not publish the item format, item count, duration or pass mark of the theory paper. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation and not a simulation of the real paper.

Guinea Code de la Route: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who administers the driving licence examination in Guinea?
The examination is administered by the Direction Nationale des Transports Terrestres (DNTT) under the authority of the Ministère des Transports of the Republic of Guinea. Candidate pre-registration, payment validation, and biometric document issuance are managed through the Système Intégré de Gestion du Permis de Conduire (SIGPC) operated with technical partner Thomas Greg & Sons.
What is the format of the theoretical driving examination in Guinea?
The theoretical examination tests knowledge of the Code de la route: traffic signs, priority rules, speed, vehicle safety and documents, driver impairment and legal sanctions. It is sat before DNTT after the auto-école course, and it is followed by the practical driving test. DNTT publishes neither the item format, nor the number of items, nor the duration, nor the pass mark, so those figures are shown here as not published rather than guessed.
What are the default speed limits in the Republic of Guinea?
The limit applied inside Guinean agglomérations is 50 km/h unless signs impose less. Outside built-up areas the figure comes from the signs on the road: Article 21 of Loi L/2018/023/AN states that the maximum authorised speed is fixed by regulation (par voie réglementaire), and the Code itself sets no national open-road number, so drivers must follow the posted limits. Exceeding the authorised speed is punished by ten days to three months' imprisonment and a third-class fine, or one of those penalties only. Speed must be reduced further in heavy rain or dust haze and near schools and roadside markets.
What is the legal regulation regarding alcohol and driving in Guinea?
Article 25 of Loi L/2018/023/AN punishes anyone who drives while intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or contraindicated medication, even with no visible sign of drunkenness, by three months to one year of imprisonment and a fifth-class fine, or one of those two penalties only. The blood or breath alcohol threshold is fixed by regulation rather than by the Code. Where the same conduct causes death or injury the penalties are doubled and neither a suspended sentence nor mitigating circumstances may be applied. Separately, Articles 5 and 6 allow a national commission to suspend a licence for up to two years or withdraw it.
What documents must a driver carry when operating a vehicle in Guinea?
Drivers must be able to produce four documents on request: a valid driving licence (permis de conduire) matching the vehicle category, the vehicle registration certificate (carte grise), a valid third-party motor liability certificate (attestation d'assurance), and, for vehicles subject to inspection, the carnet de contrôle, de préservation de l'environnement et de sécurité automobile issued through the Centres Environnement et Sécurité Automobile (CESA). Article 36 of the Code requires that carnet to be produced immediately to the checking officer and punishes failure with a fourth-class fine, with licence suspension on top if the carnet has been falsified.
Is the official driving examination in Guinea conducted in English?
No. The official exam is administered in French, the official language of Guinea. This 100-question practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation designed to help English-speaking candidates master Guinean highway code rules, traffic signs, and safety regulations.
