To maintain proper traveling control when a vehicle turns, even if a failure occurs in an actuator system for driving a steering mechanism.
A traveling control apparatus is an apparatus of the vehicle 10 having the steering mechanisms 15 and 18 for controlling steering angles of front wheels FL and FR and rear wheels RL and RR. The apparatus includes: first steering devices 400, 500, and 600 and second steering devices 300, 310, 320, and 330 for driving the steering mechanisms; a control device 100 for controlling operation behavior when the first and second steering mechanisms drive steering mechanisms; and detection devices 410, 510, and 610 for detecting that a failure occurs in the first steering device. The control device operates the second steering device so that a state quantity corresponding to a vehicle state quantity is equal to a target state quantity set within an applicable range by an operation of the second steering device, when the failure occurs in the first steering device.
