A control device for controlling a vehicle speed of a vehicle, wherein the control device is configured to automatically control the vehicle speed based on a set speed (v set) and to automatically reduce the vehicle speed to a predetermined safe speed (v safe) below the set speed as it is detected that the vehicle approaches a road section of a predetermined type, wherein the control device is configured to: - while automatically controlling the vehicle speed towards the predetermined safe speed (v safe) as the vehicle approaches the road section of the predetermined type, receive a request from a driver of the vehicle to control the vehicle speed to a temporary vehicle speed (v temp) different from the predetermined safe speed (v safe) and the set speed (v set), wherein the temporary vehicle speed is set by the driver; - in response to said request and without disabling of the control device, control the vehicle speed to the temporary vehicle speed (v temp), - at an end of the road section of the predetermined type, automatically control the vehicle speed based on the set speed (v set), wherein the predetermined type of road section is a curve, characterized in that the control device is configured to identify, during deceleration of the vehicle speed, at least a first type of request from the driver and in response thereto set the temporary vehicle speed (v temp) to a current vehicle speed of the vehicle at a time of receiving the first type of request, wherein the temporary vehicle speed (v temp) is higher than the predetermined safe speed (v safe). - while automatically controlling the vehicle speed towards the predetermined safe speed (v safe) as the vehicle approaches the road section of the predetermined type, receive a request from a driver of the vehicle to control the vehicle speed to a temporary vehicle speed (v temp) different from the predetermined safe speed (v safe) and the set speed (v set), wherein the temporary vehicle speed is set by the driver; - in response to said request and without disabling of the control device, control the vehicle speed to the temporary vehicle speed (v temp), - at an end of the road section of the predetermined type, automatically control the vehicle speed based on the set speed (v set), wherein the predetermined type of road section is a curve, characterized in that the control device is configured to identify, during deceleration of the vehicle speed, at least a first type of request from the driver and in response thereto set the temporary vehicle speed (v temp) to a current vehicle speed of the vehicle at a time of receiving the first type of request, wherein the temporary vehicle speed (v temp) is higher than the predetermined safe speed (v safe). wherein the predetermined type of road section is a curve, characterized in that the control device is configured to identify, during deceleration of the vehicle speed, at least a first type of request from the driver and in response thereto set the temporary vehicle speed (v temp) to a current vehicle speed of the vehicle at a time of receiving the first type of request, wherein the temporary vehicle speed (v temp) is higher than the predetermined safe speed (v safe).
