Abstract
In a traveling apparatus, multiple first detectors and multiple second detectors are arrayed in an intersectant direction intersecting a travel direction where a vehicle body travels. The second detectors are separated in the travel direction from the first detectors. The first detectors and the second detectors detect a guide extending on a road surface. A first interval between two first detectors adjacent to each other in the intersectant direction is smaller than a second interval between two second detectors adjacent to each other in the intersectant direction.
