A vehicle headlamp of projection type for emitting a light distribution pattern, which has a cutoff line, and a light distribution pattern for overhead sign, forward of a vehicle, the vehicle headlamp comprising: a light source; a reflector having a reflection surface adapted to reflect light from the light source; a projection lens adapted to forwardly project reflection light from the reflection surface; a shade having a window portion, adapted to shade part of the reflection light from the reflection surface to thereby form the light distribution pattern having the cutoff line by means of remaining reflection light; and a reflection member adapted to reflect part of the reflection light having passed through the window portion to thereby form the light distribution pattern for the overhead sign, at least one edge (13, 14, 15) of the shade adopted to form the cutoff line is provided at the window portion, wherein the at least one edge includes: a first horizontal edge adapted to form a horizontal cutoff line on an opposite lane side; a second horizontal edge which is positioned to be lower than the first horizontal edge, and is adapted to form a horizontal cutoff line on a cruising lane side; and a central oblique edge adapted to form a central oblique cutoff line, that the reflection member is disposed between the projection lens and the shade, characterized by a recessed reflection surface (19, 20, 21) of the reflection member is provided with right and left sides thereof formed in a shape recessed to a lower side of the reflection member in one of a V-shape, an arc-shape, an inverted trapezoidal shape with inclined planar surfaces or an inverted trapezoidal shape with inwardly curved inclined surfaces as seen from a front side to transversely spread the light distribution pattern for the overhead sign. a light source; a reflector having a reflection surface adapted to reflect light from the light source; a projection lens adapted to forwardly project reflection light from the reflection surface; a shade having a window portion, adapted to shade part of the reflection light from the reflection surface to thereby form the light distribution pattern having the cutoff line by means of remaining reflection light; and a reflection member adapted to reflect part of the reflection light having passed through the window portion to thereby form the light distribution pattern for the overhead sign, at least one edge (13, 14, 15) of the shade adopted to form the cutoff line is provided at the window portion, wherein the at least one edge includes: a first horizontal edge adapted to form a horizontal cutoff line on an opposite lane side; a second horizontal edge which is positioned to be lower than the first horizontal edge, and is adapted to form a horizontal cutoff line on a cruising lane side; and a central oblique edge adapted to form a central oblique cutoff line, a first horizontal edge adapted to form a horizontal cutoff line on an opposite lane side; a second horizontal edge which is positioned to be lower than the first horizontal edge, and is adapted to form a horizontal cutoff line on a cruising lane side; and a central oblique edge adapted to form a central oblique cutoff line, that the reflection member is disposed between the projection lens and the shade, characterized by a recessed reflection surface (19, 20, 21) of the reflection member is provided with right and left sides thereof formed in a shape recessed to a lower side of the reflection member in one of a V-shape, an arc-shape, an inverted trapezoidal shape with inclined planar surfaces or an inverted trapezoidal shape with inwardly curved inclined surfaces as seen from a front side to transversely spread the light distribution pattern for the overhead sign.
