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 ). <EOS>
