TRAVELING CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

A surrounding environment information acquisition device acquires surrounding environment information. A map information acquisition device acquires road information. A traveling control unit causes the vehicle to travel along a preset target traveling route. When recognizing an intersection in which U-turn traveling control for performing a U-turn travel to an oncoming lane is scheduled to be performed on the target traveling route and in front of the vehicle, the traveling control unit performs one or both of: setting a traveling course laterally shifted by a predetermined distance in a direction opposite to the oncoming lane within a traveling lane of the vehicle; and setting a steering start point in the U-turn travel at a position farther from the vehicle in the traveling direction than a steering start point to be set when left/right turn traveling control to cross the oncoming lane at the intersection to enter a cross road.
