Traveling information providing device for ensuring the safety of a traveling vehicle by correctly judging the driver's recognition of a safety confirmation object through not only driver's attentive viewing of the safety confirmation object but also his or her viewing of the surroundings. A surrounding information collecting section (120) acquires surrounding information on the condition surrounding the vehicle equipped with the device. An object extracting section (130) extracts a safety confirmation object the safety of which must be confirmed by the driver from the surrounding information acquired by the surrounding information collecting section (120). A line-of-sight detecting section (110) detects the line-of-sight direction of the driver. A visibility calculating section (140) receives the extracted safety confirmation object and the line-of-sight direction of the driver and calculates the visibility in consideration of the driver's surrounding viewing of the safety confirmation object according to the distance to the object or the angle with respect to the driver's line-of-sight direction. An information presenting section (170) presents safety confirmation to the driver depending on the visibility.
