A drive assist apparatus for a vehicle includes a turn signal drive unit, an environment information obtainer, and a controller. The controller includes a blinking cycle adjuster configured to cause the turn signal drive unit to drive with drive signals indicating blinking cycles different from each other. The blinking cycles include a first blinking cycle and a second blinking cycle shorter than the first blinking cycle. The blinking cycle adjuster is configured to set the first blinking cycle for the vehicle that travels at a first position, and set the second blinking cycle for the vehicle that travels at a second position closer to the intersection than the first position.
