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.

In the hazzards menu it would be helpful to have an animal hazzard option, perhaps denoted by a deer icon. Deer and other animals can be extremely hazzardous to cars as well as themselves. Having a heads up from other drivers would be great.

This could help reduce accidents, especially where you might otherwise end up damaging the animal, yourself, your vehicle, or write-off, or serious accident

Ability to log animal crossing points and define which animals e.g. pheasants, deer, moose, horses, cattle etc

Please bring back wildlife alerts! Super helpful for those of that live in more "wild" states like Alaska where moose and bear roam right next to major highways.

Being notified of a significantly large animal that could trouble is important.

For the love of traffic safety, PLEASE bring back reporting of "Animal on shoulder" and roadkill.
I live in the northeastern U.S. and deer are a CONSTANT factor in traffic. This can be said for almost any area of the country for various species of animals and it's such a HUGE help to know if there are animals grazing near the road or possibly on the road, especially at night. Approximately 1 to 2 million collisions with large animals occur annually in the U.S. so I just can't understand why this feature was removed from the app. The roadkill part of thisI guess could fall under the "Object on Road" alert, but PLEASE bring back the option for us to report when there are animals near the road.

It is dangerous to drive in many parts of Australia, particularly the outback (but it can also apply to national freeways/highways) around dawn and dusk, as native animals are most active at that time. Hitting a large Kangaroo can cause massive vehicle damage and risk the lives of occupants. Wombats on the highway between Sydney and Canberra can flip a car over if he is at speed.
It may be helpful to provide alerts when planning the drive that part of the drive is potentially in a dangerous time for native animal activity and to reconsider plans.

PLEASE! I have already lost one vehicle to a deer. After almost hitting yet another one, I realize that 1. My commute is getting to be ridiculous and 2. I am going to keep posting until the feature is returned or I get a response. lol.

Please bring this back!!!! I miss this feature. I have to travel roughly 140 miles per day some on rural roads, some highway. The “roadkill” and “animal…” were some of the BEST features!!!!!!

This could save a lot of money for drivers, as well as can potentially save a pet. I would love to know the rationale for why it was removed?

בתל אביב החלטתי לנסות מלווה לבלות את הערב עם אשת שיחה מעניינת. פגשתי בחורה שמיד הפתיעה אותי בקסמה. הלכנו לאורך הסוללה ודנו בתרבות ישראל ובעוד הרבה דברים. האווירה הייתה קלילה, והרגשתי שאני בדייט עם אדם שהכרתי הרבה זמן. במהלך השיחה נזכרתי שמצאתי אותה דרך https://rai.co.il/, וזה הוסיף ביטחון שעשיתי את הבחירה הנכונה.

Can we PLEASE add a 'Loose Animal' warning to the alerts? We see cows, dogs etc out here in the country, and I would sure help people avoid them!

Just like reporting cops, users can report deer sightings so others can slow down in the area to help avoid accidents with deer. Seems like a high value idea to me.

Hello, under hazards there should be an option to let people know if deer or any animals are running around on or near the road. Not only might it help save an animals life it might also keep people from damaging their car or truck. Currently I just click hazard obstruction on road but if there are 5 deer moving around it’s not nearly as helpful as it would be to post that. Thanks
