1. A driving control method for controlling driving of a subject vehicle using a control device so that front-rear acceleration of the subject vehicle when traveling along a curved route becomes an acceleration upper limit or less, the control device controlling the driving of the subject vehicle, wherein
provided that a merging point exists in a certain section on a downstream side of the curved route, when a distance between a position of the subject vehicle traveling along the curved route and the merging point is a predetermined distance or less, the control device sets the acceleration upper limit to a corrected acceleration upper limit higher than a reference acceleration upper limit that is the acceleration upper limit when the merging point does not exist in the certain section.
