Abstract
A vehicle control device is configured to: execute vehicle speed maintaining control for causing the vehicle speed to coincide with a set vehicle speed; start first control, for causing the acceleration to coincide with target acceleration for keeping maintaining acceleration no higher than limit acceleration, or second control, for controlling the acceleration such that the vehicle speed is kept no higher than a limit vehicle speed lower than the set vehicle speed, as limit control when a traffic signal correlated distance correlated with a traffic signal distance to a stop instructing traffic signal is determined to become a first threshold or less during execution of the vehicle speed maintaining control; and suspend the vehicle speed maintaining control and the limit control when a driver operates a deceleration operator during execution of the limit control.
