I would really like to see the option to report animals on the side of the road (critical for drivers in areas with a large deer population as these animals can become hazards) return to the reporting options. Roadkill would be nice too but I guess “object in road” will do.

Why did you remove Hazard animals nearby?

Hi Waze,

I work for a local council in NSW and we are trying to obtain data on wildlife road kills including locations, types of wildlife etc. Is this something your system would capture and be able to assist us with. If we are able to better understand these issues we can then ensure we focus our efforts to “Hot Spot” areas such as, virtual fencing or other controls to prevent wildlife entering high risk traffic areas.

My email is tony.pearman@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au

Thank you and any assistance or reply would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Tony

Why did you remove the "Hazard" animals on or near road???

Where did the animal on shouldet button go?
Updated version doesn’t show animal as an option.
I drive thru rural areas, woods, etc.
I used to be able to report deer, loose cows, groundhogs, turkeys, etc

Option not available when connected to dash. Have to disconnect from car. Deer need reporting

My take on this feature is that it could be a "Permanent Animal Crossing Warning". Since Waze already has the data to know where animals usually cross. Or it can encourage users to report it. Safer for humans and for animals.

This feature would be great if added

This feature would make me use Waze by default, specially when coming to a new area. As it stand now, I mostly use Google Maps

Similar to how you show a more permanent warning for when approaching a rail road track. At this point you should have data to know where animal crossings are (thanks to users’ reports), so you could warn drivers in a more permanent manner that this area has animals crossing. This would protect both the animals and the drivers, since drivers wouldn’t make risky, fast movements to avoid hitting animals. Drivers would slow down way before the dangerous area. We can encourage drivers to report animals sightings and roadkills so we know even more accurately where animals cross, to help protect even more animals in the future. I unfortunately witnessed a rabbit crashing into a car’s side, recently, and hoped I could have done more for it…

This goes in line with your "Permanent Hazards" new feature. In that case, you'd only need to add an option for users to report these kinds of animal crossings.

But the next best step would be that you automatically make a guess to where animal crossings are, based on user reports, and suggest users to slow down.

The recent update took animals out of hazard options when using Android connected to car. I saw it in the app when I disconnect from car but it doesn't show up on my car screen when connected anymore.

Also, like MANY others say PLEASE add an option to put animals ON ROAD.

On another note, much needed add stop to route!

In Bulgaria, there are many free animals on the roads (domestic, wild), let the danger button be added as a report and an animal!

Deer notification

There is no option to report a living animal on the road. These is hugely essential highways where the speeds are high and a living animal(dog, horse,...) crossing the road can create a huge danger for drivers.
As a Driver
I want to be able to report a living animal as a hazard
So that the other drivers can be informed and take the required actions to stay safe.

Bor i norra Sverige och har ofta renar på vägen, men det går inte rapportera djur på vägen utan bara i vägrenen vilket ni måste åtgärda!

Tack för en bra app i övrigt 👍

Wildlife dies on high-speed roads and is the primary mortality factor for red squirrels. For his safety, he should be informed of the possibility of crossing 500-metre sections. Is it possible to inform with a nice squirrel drawing during a brief appearance or with a message "very young squirrels, attention!"

Serait-il possible de rajouter la présence d'un animal vivant sur la route car, sauf erreur de ma part, on ne peut indiquer que la présence d'un animal mort ou d'un objet.
Bisous à tous ceux qui liront ce message !

Not every time are dead animals on the road, sometimes there are alive animals.
