A vehicle control device has a processor configured to calculate an average speed of a vehicle traveling in a traffic lane and another vehicle in a predetermined range from the vehicle, for each of multiple traffic lanes of a traveling road on which the vehicle is traveling, as a traffic lane average speed, to determine whether the traffic lanes are congested based on the traffic lane average speed for each of the multiple traffic lanes of the traveling road and to estimate whether the traveling road as a whole is congested based on a proportion of traffic lanes of the traveling road that are congested, and to decide to drive the vehicle by automatic control when the traveling road as a whole is congested.
