A braking control device includes a first wheel cylinder on either the left or right front wheel side of a vehicle; a second wheel cylinder on the other side; a first pressure-regulating mechanism that pressurizes the brake fluid inside the first wheel cylinder; a second pressure-regulating mechanism that pressurizes brake fluid inside the second wheel cylinder; and a normally-closed opening/closing valve interposed in a connecting fluid path connecting the first wheel cylinder and the second wheel cylinder and in which, if a sudden operation is determined, the opening/closing valve is put in a connected state and increases the pressure of the brake fluid inside the first and second wheel cylinders by the first and second pressure-regulating mechanisms.
