To provide a vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and a program, which can determine an efficient route to a destination.SOLUTION: An vehicle control device (100) includes: an acquisition section (134) for acquiring information about a traffic management state of a traffic light on a route of a vehicle; a recognition section (132) for recognizing a peripheral situation of the vehicle; and operation control sections (142, 160) which control acceleration and deceleration and steering of the vehicle on the basis of the peripheral situation of the vehicle recognized by the recognition section. The operation control section enables the vehicle to travel by determining the route to a destination on the basis of the information acquired by the acquisition section when the route allowing arrival at the destination can be set even if the vehicle travels to any travelling directions which can be selected at an intersection where the traffic light is provided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】目的地までの効率的な経路を決定することができる車両制御装置、車両制御方法、およびプログラム提供すること。【解決手段】車両の経路における信号機の交通管理状態に関する情報を取得する取得部（１３４）を含み、車両の周辺の状況を認識する認識部（１３２）と、認識部により認識された車両の周辺の状況に基づいて車両の加減速および操舵を制御する運転制御部（１４２、１６０）と、を備え、運転制御部は、信号機が設けられた交差点において選択可能な進行方向のうちいずれに進行しても目的地まで到着可能な経路が設定可能な場合、取得部により取得された情報に基づいて目的地までの経路を決定し、車両を走行させる、車両制御装置（１００）である。【選択図】図２
