I was using that 10+ years long, and I am automatically searching for this option any time I see one.

For many-many years, one could report roadkill. You cannot any more - the only option is "object". That's something completely different. I cannot see any reason why it has been removed.

I would like to suggest adding a new hazard reporting option in Waze: "Live animal near the road" (or a similar category).

At the moment, Waze allows users to report roadkill, but there is no dedicated option for reporting a live animal standing or moving near the roadside. I believe this would be a valuable addition for both road safety and wildlife protection.

Many serious accidents happen because drivers suddenly encounter animals that are about to cross the road. If other drivers received an early warning that a live animal had been spotted nearby, they could slow down, become more alert, and be prepared for unexpected movement. This could help prevent collisions, reduce injuries and fatalities involving both people and animals, and improve overall road safety.

Unlike reporting roadkill after a collision has already occurred, reporting a live animal creates an opportunity to prevent accidents before they happen. In many regions, especially rural areas, encounters with deer, moose, wild boar, elk, and other wildlife are common. A simple warning could make a meaningful difference.

I believe this would be a relatively small feature with the potential for a significant positive impact. It aligns perfectly with Waze's mission of helping drivers stay informed about real-time road hazards and making roads safer for everyone.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I hope the team will consider adding this feature in a future update.

Anoche, yendo al trabajo, en un tramo que discurre por carretera nacional, varios vehículos pudimos esquivar un perro que se encontraba suelto. El perro, de color negro (difícil de ver en la oscuridad) y de tamaño grande, tenía collar y se veía desorientado. Aunque tras tocar el claxon abandonó la calzada, intuía que podría volver a ella. Cuando llegué al trabajo, vi que en la app ponía “vehículo detenido” en la zona en cuestión y, por la mañana, regresando a casa, vi el perro muerto en el arcén. Está claro que no todo el mundo usa Waze pero, si de cada 10 vehículos, 1 al menos lo usa, puede alertar al resto de vehículos con su actuación. Creo que esta alerta es crucial pues, un animal suelto, es un peligro en potencia, por lo impredecibles que resultan sus movimientos.

Animal Crossing, Animal near road, lost animal

I’d like to request that you add “Animals” as a specific report option. This would allow drivers to quickly report deer, elk, cows, or other animals on or near the road. This is especially important at night and in rural or wooded areas, where sudden animal crossings are a serious hazard and very hard to see in time. Having a dedicated “Animals” category would help alert other drivers faster and improve safety for everyone.

Из мобильного приложения я не могу оставить описание проблемы. Только поставить "ВНИМАНИЕ". Люди на руках переносят ежей и включают аварийную сигнализацию. Это весна. Осенью будет тоже самое.

Миграция животных должна быть ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНОЙ! Мы в ответе за них. В моём районе под колёсами гибнет около 50% популяции ёжиков. И в вашем приложении я не могу отметить район и описание.

Waze team, please restore the dedicated "Animals" reporting option—it's far different from "Object on road." Objects are static, so drivers scan the roadway expecting a fixed obstacle of unknown size. Animals move unpredictably, often from the roadside, where they can suddenly dart into traffic. Lumping them together reduces vigilance for this unique hazard and endangers drivers. Bring it back!

I just passed about 15 deer grazing right next to the road on a stretch of highway where deer are commonly hit and the speed limit is 75. It would be great to warn other drivers. I suggest an animals category under hazards.

It would be nice if the Waze app would bring back animal “sightings” or hazard notifications since in rural Canada this can be very much so beneficial for moose, deer sightings etc.

It would be nice to be able to report whenever "Animal Activity" whenever we notice or see animals crossing the road. Theh often don't come alone and it would allow other drivers to be made aware and so drive more carefully/ be more cautious

I saw a deer on the side of the road and reported "Object on road" because the option to report the deer is gone. Moments later an accident was reported in the same area, I can only guess what happened.

It would be excellent if there were alerts and an icon on screen when I am in a zone where it's very highly possible for animals to cross (road signs)

Actually insane this feature was removed. I used this all the time to mark deer on the side of the road. This was one of the features that could actually save a life and you remove it?

I would like to suggest a Live Animal or Wildlife button under Hazard category to notify drivers especially of a night of the potential risk of hitting an animal

We live in Northern NY and guess what? We have deer all over and farms that have animals that get out of the fences. Save a life, report it!

This is really important, because it can really prevent many drivers from crashing into the wild animals near the road!

Can we have a hazard option for live animals? I live in an area where deer frequent the road and that can be very dangerous. Most times you can’t see them until you are on top of them. By adding this hazard drivers could be notified to at least watch for them and slow down.

Il arrive souvent de rencontrer des animaux en divagation sur les routes corses, bovins, porcins, ovins, caprins.... Il serait très utile de pouvoir signaler ce danger aux autres usagers sur waze.
Souhaitable donc de créer ce nouveau type d'alerte "animal en divagation".
Merci
