A travel controller detects a non-lane zone within a predetermined distance ahead of a current position of a vehicle. The non-lane zone lacks lanes. The travel controller controls travel of the vehicle in the non-lane zone so as to keep the position of the vehicle relative to the width of a whole road. When an expected position of the vehicle at the end of the non-lane zone straddles a lane line, the travel controller controls travel of the vehicle so as to move to a lane having a larger overlap with the vehicle, prior to control of travel of the vehicle to keep the position of the vehicle relative to the width of the whole road.
