A traffic light detection device includes: an image capture unit capturing an image of surroundings; a traffic light location estimation unit estimating a location of a traffic light around the vehicle and setting a traffic light search area in which the traffic light is estimated to be present; a traffic light detection unit detecting the traffic light by searching the traffic light search area on the image; and an obstruction estimation unit. When the obstruction estimation unit estimates that a continuous obstruction state where a view of the traffic light is continuously obstructed occurs in the traffic light search area, the traffic light location estimation unit selects the traffic light search area based on the continuous obstruction state.
