Abstract: A forward movement limit determination unit determines to execute a forward movement limit in the case it is recognized that there is an intersecting road or an entering vehicle, and further, it is recognized that an event that limits traveling of a host vehicle is occurring on a more forward side of the travel direction of the host vehicle than an intersecting position or an entry position. In the case it is determined that the forward movement limit is to be executed, a vehicle control unit performs the forward movement limit, on a more opposite direction side of the travel direction than the intersecting position or the entry position.
