Adding Roadside Animal detection system to Waze as a feature will help reduce animal roadkill problem.
Roadside Animal Detection (RADAR) systems – A computerized signs with flashing light stripped when an animal breaks a light beam . These can reduce collisions with large animals. These alerts and captured images can also be sent to different GPS apps like Waze, so that drivers coming by on that road can be alerted through their GPS apps and slow down when crossing that area.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Il pourrait être intéressant de faire paraitre le rapport comme une grosse zone circulaire (quelques kilomètres de diamètre) en surbrillance comme l'animal peut se déplacer. L'alerte devrait également être lancée à toutes les voies de circulation disponibles de la zone en surbrillance.

It would be great if we can report animals that we see along the route and that may be lost.

Hazard sign “animals crossing road” could be added and it could have some time active, like 30 min active after activation

When adding an animal in the road (Sheep, Horse, Cow etc) add an automatic alert/text to the local farmer based on the coordinates. If is often very difficult to locate who the animal is owned by.
Farmers can pay a subscription to be part of this service. -

Where is needs to add Deer sightings to their contusions to help drivers.
The same way you can report seeing a police, seeing traffic, seeing construction and more, there should be an option to be able to report deer on the side of the road so that drivers can slow down and be extra cautious -

When there is an animal sighting, wazers can claim the animal and the ai can alert coming wazers to form a temporary clot to facilitate the rescue.

I see animals everyday get hit by cars in the area where i live, i think this could be one of the many solutions to this problem and was thinking of suggesting something like this.

There used to be options for reporting objects and animals on the road or shoulder under the “Hazard” option. This was very useful to quickly choose. These options are no longer available. It takes too long to report these items using the comment feature.

Palm Coast has lots of Waze users and lots of wildlife. Especially at night we have deer and wild boar. Not tiny ones either. I think having Icons would be a cool and light hearted way to alert other users. Pretty please??

De même que signaler la présence d’un policier à un endroit, il serait bon de pouvoir indiquer un animal ( orignaux, chevreuil) dans le chemin où en bordures de route pour en aviser les utilisateurs de faire attention.

Can we please include a animal crossing notificagion along the highways without barriers to at least do our part to minimisd animal death in the highway?
Just reminding drivers that way I'd say is good publicity to what happened recently regarding the tapir matter.

Be able to input an animal that it is seen in the road into the waze app the same way police cars are inputted. This would decrease the amount of roadkill in the road because drivers will know to slow down for an animal (turtles will sit in the road for hours).

In Nordic countries there are a lot of moose/reindeer warning signs along the road. This kind of alert could be very useful when you are driving, like speedometers, especially in bad weather conditions. A moose can weigh 700kg and a collision with one of them can be deadly. At the moment some navigators have this function.
