Abstract
A vehicle pedal structure includes an accelerator pedal swingable about a swing shaft inclined with respect to a width direction in a top view of a traveling vehicle, and a mechanical link to convert swinging of the accelerator pedal into sliding in a front-rear direction. The link includes a first link structure and a second link structure that include first and second swings and first and second rods. Each of a first end and a second end of the second rod is restricted from sliding along an entering-exiting direction. In the link structures, in the top view, a second angle of a second swing shaft with respect to the width direction is smaller than a first angle of a first swing shaft with respect to the width direction.
