A sign recognition apparatus is mounted to an own vehicle. An on-board imaging device is mounted to the own vehicle and captures an image of a periphery of the own vehicle. The sign recognition apparatus recognizes traffic signs including a no-passing sign from the image of the periphery of the own vehicle that has been captured by the on-board imaging device. Based on predetermined features of the no-passing sign included in the recognized traffic signs, the sign recognition apparatus determines a left- or right-hand traffic division used in an area in which the no-passing sign is set and a distance unit used in the traffic signs. |
