A vehicle lighting device is provided which causes a phenomenon whereby bright areas of an irradiation pattern seem to flow on the roadside of the road, and can give a psychological effect prompting a change in vehicle speed to drivers. A vehicle lighting device includes: a pattern irradiation part which irradiates an irradiation region on a side of a travel path of one's own vehicle by a bright/dark mixed irradiation pattern in which bright regions and dark regions are alternately repeated; a situation recognition device which recognizes a situation prompting a deceleration action or acceleration action to a driver of one's own vehicle, and obtains an output corresponding to the recognition; and a controller which controls the pattern irradiation part so that bright regions and dark regions of the pattern irradiation light move in a front/rear direction of the vehicle, based on the output of the situation recognition device.
