A traveling limit apparatus of a drive by wire system comprises sensors(100), a signal processing control unit(110), and a wheel control unit(130). The sensors detect that a vehicle is stolen or that a drunken driver is behind a wheel and outputs alarming signals. Once the alarming signals are output the signal processing control unit shifts a drive mode into a traveling limit mode, and outputs specific signals. The wheel control unit actuates a drive device such as a motor according to the signal output by the control units and controls wheels, brakes, a transmission, and a throttle. In the traveling limit mode, the wheel control unit receives fixed steering wheel information, and the signal processing control unit keeps the wheels stopped.
