Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control apparatus includes an actuator used for traveling and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform: recognizing a road traffic sign installed on a driving path of a subject vehicle and a curved road based on a curvature of the driving path on a forward side in an advancing direction; and setting a target driving speed of the subject vehicle on the driving path. The setting includes, when the curved road and the road traffic sign is recognized on the curved road while the subject vehicle is traveling in a merging lane, setting the target driving speed to a first target driving speed which is based on the road traffic sign, and when the subject vehicle enters the main, setting the target driving speed to a second target driving speed different from the first target driving speed.
