Zusammenfassung:A travel controller identifies a current lane on which a vehicle is traveling in a first lane zone traveled by the vehicle and including lanes, and detects a non-lane zone within a predetermined distance ahead of a current position of the vehicle. The non-lane zone lacks lanes and lies between the first lane zone and a second lane zone including fewer lanes than the first lane zone. Of the lanes included in the second lane zone, the travel controller identifies a lane having a start point whose distance from an end point of the current lane is the shortest, and preferentially selects, as a route in the non-lane zone, a route connecting the end point of the current lane and the start point of the lane identified in the second lane zone.
