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.

Taking away ability to mark animals was bad idea - most important feature behind reporting cops!

Please bring back reporting animals nearby. This of us who live in more rural areas NEED this to prevent deer & other animal accidents. Just last week a clipped a deer & I couldn't report deer nearby & was stunned. We NEED it back!

I lost my animals nearby function a few days ago & what do you know I hit a deer this morning! I would alays slow down a bit if I saw the warning on WAZE. Bring it back WAZE it is a huge issue where I live in the country!

An animal on the shoulder helps to alert drivers of potential hazards. I see a lot of deer on the roadside and can no longer alert fellow drivers.
Additionally, road kills are also dangerous. Somehow that option was removed. Why? -
Ian NCS commented
Il faut garder ces options. Moi aussi même si en temps normal surtout la nuit je fait attention, ces options m'ont aidé à éviter des collisions ! A remettre rapidement s'il vous plaît 🙏

Bring back the animal feature. I live in the low country and the animal feature has saved me so many times from hitting Bambi.

Animals are big percentage of vehicle accidents! Why remove this warning from the "Road Hazard Listing" of options?
-
Sean Yardley commented
Please include a wildlife icon in the hazards beside road. I found this very usefull in the past as a portion of the roads I travel occasionally have kangaroos in the early morning and they camouflage into the grassy backgrounds.
I have hit 4 roos in the last ten years as they come and go to greener pastures and you never know when they will be there. -

BRING BACK THE ABILITY TO REPORT ANIMALS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!! This was an absolutely poor decision to remove! It’s critical to know when there are deer and other animals!

I live in an area with a lot of deer, that travel impacts and run into cars, especially on dark roads at night. These warnings allow people to slow down on a windy road and not hit the deer.

Add "Roadkill" back! 1000's of Wazers are asking the same question! Do you not listen to your followers? Geez!

They took away our ability to report animals by the roadside in the app. They certainly won’t be implementing something this technologically advanced any time soon! It appears they are going backwards.

This was very helpful feature, please bring it back.
Driving on I95 in South Carolina there were deer all over the side of the road... -
Daniel Kremer commented
Brink back the “Roadkill” and “Animals on Shoulder” features please. Both of these have helped me avoid a collision…

Bonjour,
Il faudrait remettre le bouton animal décédé sur la route
et ajouter animal errant, j'ai plus d'une fois voulu l'indiquer sur la carte mais cela n'existe pas !! et éviterait beaucoup d'accidents et d'animaux tués !The roadkill button should be put back on the map,
and add "stray animal", more than once I wanted to indicate it on the map but it doesn't exist!! and would avoid many accidents and animal deaths! -
