Abstract: A method is for controlling the positioning of a motor vehicle on a road including several traffic lanes defined laterally by road marking lines. The method includes receiving a signal originating from a camera equipping the vehicle, analyzing the signal in order to detect the road marking lines, identifying, according to a predefined classification of the types of road marking lines, the type of lines detected defining the vehicle's current traffic lane, determining characteristics of the current traffic lane depending on the type of road marking lines defining it and, if the current traffic lane is one of the left-most lane or the right-most lane in the vehicle's direction of travel, shifting the vehicle towards the distal edge of the road relative to the central axis of the current traffic lane.
