Abstract

There is provided a driving support apparatus for a vehicle. When a speed limit that is not equal to a set vehicle speed is detected by a stereo image recognition device, a cruise control unit temporarily performs a standby mode in which a value of the set vehicle speed can be switched to the speed limit, and displays the set vehicle speed and the speed limit so that the speeds can be compared with each other and selectively maintains the set vehicle speed or switches the set vehicle speed to the speed limit based on an operation state by a driver during the standby mode.
