Claim 0:
1. A vehicle traveling controller that performs automatic steering so that a vehicle travels along a target path, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory including at least one computer-executable program that upon execution causes the at least one processor to:
allow a driver to intervene in steering; and
when the driver intervenes in steering and thereby a traveling position of the vehicle deviates outside a threshold line set apart from the target path in a lane width direction, increase a steering reaction force acting on a steering operation by the driver,

wherein a setting of a position of the threshold line is changed in accordance with a kind of a lane marker defining a traveling lane on which the vehicle is traveling, and
wherein, when the lane marker is a lane outside line, and when both the lane outside line and a road structure provided outside the lane outside line are recognized, the position of the threshold line is set based on a position of the road structure.
