Abstract
A driving assistance method executed by a driving assistance device including a tri-axial accelerometer, an information presentation controller, and an information presentation section. The driving assistance method includes: a congestion warning sign information acquisition step for acquiring congestion warning sign information based on change in the acceleration; a multi-lane information acquisition step for acquiring information regarding whether or not the position of the driving assistance device is on a multiple lane travel path; a restriction information presentation step for presenting information indicating lane change restriction when the position is on the multiple lane travel path and congestion warning sign information indicates traffic flow tending toward congestion; and a non-restriction information presentation step for presenting information indicating non-restriction of lane change when the position is on the multiple lane travel path and congestion warning sign information does not indicate traffic flow tending toward congestion.
