Abstract
Provided are a vehicle braking system and a master cylinder which are capable of providing a good pedal feel. A valve-opening pressure for a pressure-reducing valve of the master cylinder is set higher than a hydraulic pressure which is obtained with a pressing force on a brake pedal being 500 N and lower than a hydraulic pressure obtained at a time when a booster reaches a full-load point in case of failure of the booster so as to be specialized for improving pedal feel. Required performance in case of failure of the booster is realized by a pressure-intensifying unit.
