Because a road surface illumination apparatus is configured so as to include a vehicle motion predictor 2 to predict the motion which a vehicle is going to perform from now on in accordance with vehicle information acquired by a vehicle information acquisition unit 1, and a light animation setting unit 3 to set a light animation expressing the motion predicted by the vehicle motion predictor 2, and to cause an illumination device 4 to illuminate a road surface with the animation before the vehicle performs the motion, the road surface illumination apparatus can intuitively notify the motion which the vehicle is going to perform from now on to persons outside the vehicle.
