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.

    Provide roadkill data to agencies/nonprofits for planning wildlife corridors/bridges

    Add a button in waze for users to indicate a live animal on the side of a road (like a grazing deer). Waze users can be warned of this animal on the side of the road and can slow down when they are close to this place. This would help prevent roadkill.

    I would like a specific report option for roadkill so someone would know to specifically look out for animals. A hazard could mean construction, pothole, any hazard. They might not think about animals.

    This is an idea from First Lego League Team # 20036 as part of Animal Allies Challenge project. The team would like to suggest Waze to add capability to notify about animals like Deer that are involved in a lot of road accidents.

    As with something stalled on the side of the road it would be cool to know when large animals are near the side of the road and if they crossed it could be a large potential for accident
