A work vehicle, comprising: at least one traveling device ; a brake configured to brake the traveling device ; at least one steering lever configured to operate travel by the traveling device ; an operation pathway within which the steering lever is operable, the operation pathway including: a travel operation pathway corresponding to a traveling speed of the traveling device ; and a stop operation pathway extending from a stop position, at which the steering lever is placeable to set the brake to a braked state, to the travel operation pathway ; a brake position sensor configured to detect an operation position of the steering lever within the stop operation pathway ; a drive unit configured to drive the traveling device ; characterized in that the work vehicle further comprises a travel position sensor configured to detect an operation position of the steering lever within the travel operation pathway ; a travel control unit configured to control the drive unit on a basis of a detected value from the travel position sensor ; and a brake control unit configured to control the brake to the braked state in response to the brake position sensor having detected that the steering lever has been operated to the stop position and to a released state in response to the brake position sensor having detected that the steering lever has been operated from the stop position toward the travel operation pathway and the travel position sensor having detected that the steering lever is at a neutral position, at which the steering lever is placeable to stop the travel. at least one traveling device ; a brake configured to brake the traveling device ; at least one steering lever configured to operate travel by the traveling device ; an operation pathway within which the steering lever is operable, the operation pathway including: a travel operation pathway corresponding to a traveling speed of the traveling device ; and a stop operation pathway extending from a stop position, at which the steering lever is placeable to set the brake to a braked state, to the travel operation pathway ; a travel operation pathway corresponding to a traveling speed of the traveling device ; and a stop operation pathway extending from a stop position, at which the steering lever is placeable to set the brake to a braked state, to the travel operation pathway ; a brake position sensor configured to detect an operation position of the steering lever within the stop operation pathway ; a drive unit configured to drive the traveling device ; characterized in that the work vehicle further comprises a travel position sensor configured to detect an operation position of the steering lever within the travel operation pathway ; a travel control unit configured to control the drive unit on a basis of a detected value from the travel position sensor ; and a brake control unit configured to control the brake to the braked state in response to the brake position sensor having detected that the steering lever has been operated to the stop position and to a released state in response to the brake position sensor having detected that the steering lever has been operated from the stop position toward the travel operation pathway and the travel position sensor having detected that the steering lever is at a neutral position, at which the steering lever is placeable to stop the travel. <EOS>
