Zusammenfassung:A travel control apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes a passability determination unit and a travel control unit. The passability determination unit performs a determination as to whether or not an obstacle located on a vehicle lane on which the vehicle travels is avoidable within the vehicle lane on which the vehicle is currently traveling. The travel control unit carries out a travel control to allow the vehicle to travel while avoiding the obstacle. On the condition that the passability determination unit determines that the obstacle is avoidable within the vehicle lane on which the vehicle is currently traveling, the travel control unit controls a travel speed of the vehicle to keep the vehicle, any one of surrounding vehicles, and the obstacle from becoming side by side when the vehicle passes by the obstacle.
