1. A pedal stroke sensor attachment structure of an automotive vehicle, comprising: a pedal device provided at a vehicle body positioned in front of a driver's seat, the pedal device comprising a bracket attached to the vehicle body, a hanging-type pedal supported at the bracket via a pedal rotational axis, a falling-off mechanism configured to make the pedal rotational axis fall off a support portion of the pedal rotational axis when a collision load to make the pedal retreat toward a passenger side is applied to the vehicle body, and a stroke sensor provided at the bracket to detect a depressing stroke of the pedal; and a link arm interlocking the stroke sensor with the pedal, wherein said stroke sensor is offset downward relative to said pedal rotational axis, and said link arm includes an engaged portion, with which an engaging portion provided on a side of said pedal is slidably engaged, said engaged portion of the link arm being configured such that the engaging portion is slid vertically along the engaged portion by a specified length that is long enough to allow said falling-off of the pedal rotational axis performed by the falling-off mechanism.
