Vehicle brake hydraulic pressure control apparatus

One embodiment provides a vehicle brake hydraulic pressure control apparatus configured to perform a pressure hold control to hold a brake hydraulic pressure in a state in which a vehicle comes to a halt. Further, the pressure hold control is canceled using an initial pressure reduction mode in which the brake hydraulic pressure is reduced at one of a rapid pressure reduction rate of a previously-set given gradient and a normal pressure reduction rate calculated based at least on an accelerator opening, which is higher and a latter pressure reduction mode in which the brake hydraulic pressure is reduced at the normal pressure reduction rate after the brake hydraulic pressure has been reduced to a switching threshold by the initial pressure reduction mode.
