PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control apparatus capable of appropriately preventing a collision between an own vehicle and a moving vehicle behind an oncoming vehicle when the own vehicle is crossing an oncoming lane.SOLUTION: An controller 8 as a vehicle control apparatus includes: an own vehicle crossing determination unit 8a for determining whether an own vehicle is crossing an oncoming lane; a congestion determination unit 8b for determining whether the oncoming lane is congested; and a control unit 8d for performing control for preventing the own vehicle from entering ahead of a position corresponding to a side end part of a road shoulder side of an oncoming vehicle where the own vehicle is starting to cross ahead, when the own vehicle is determined, by the own vehicle crossing determination unit 8a, to start to cross the oncoming lane and the oncoming lane is determined, by the congestion determination unit 8b, to be congested.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】自車両が対向車線を横切るときに、自車両と対向車両の後方の移動体との衝突を適切に防止することができる車両の制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両の制御装置としてのコントローラ８は、自車両が対向車線を横切ろうとしているか否かを判定する自車両横断判定部８ａと、対向車線が渋滞しているか否かを判定する渋滞判定部８ｂと、自車両横断判定部８ａによって自車両が対向車線を横切ろうとしていると判定され、且つ、渋滞判定部８ｂによって対向車線が渋滞していると判定された場合に、前方を自車両が横切ろうとしている対向車両の路肩側の側端部に対応する位置よりも先に、自車両が進入することを制限するための制御を行う制御部８ｄと、を有する。【選択図】図１
