A tilt adjustable type steering apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention has a failsafe mechanism that makes the vehicle unable to travel by locking, e.g., a speed-change shift at a parking range (P) when a steering wheel is tilted up through a large angle, and prevents the steering wheel from being tilted up when other than parking of the vehicle, e.g., during the traveling. The present tilt adjustable type steering apparatus for the vehicle is provided with a large angle tilt-up sensor 24 for detecting that a front side end support seat portion (a tilt-up stopper) 21 of a rear column member 5 abuts on a rear side end support seat portion (a tilt-up stopper) 21 of a front column member 4 . When detecting a vehicle travelable state such as a release from a parking brake, a shift-down or shift-up of the change gear, etc. after the rear column member 5 has returned to within a normal on-driving tilt adjustable range (approximately ±10 degrees), a pin 25 a of a solenoid 25 provided on the rear column member 5 enters a lock hole 12 b of a tilt adjusting lever 12 , thereby locking the tilt adjusting lever 12.
