A method of vehicular control includes providing a camera and a control at a vehicle, and maneuvering the vehicle along a road while capturing image data via the camera. Image data captured by the camera is processed at the control to determine presence of a stopping area ahead of the vehicle and being approached by the vehicle as the vehicle is maneuvered along the road. Responsive to determination of presence of the stopping area, the operating capacity of the vehicle engine is reduced so that the engine operates at reduced capacity as the vehicle moves toward and stops at the determined stopping area. After stopping the vehicle at the stopping area, the control determines if a hazard is present in the field of view of the camera. Responsive to determining that no hazard is present, the operating capacity of the engine is restored to its normal operating capacity.
