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.

This is a great idea! It’ll help save the animals and cause less accidents!

Use your data to inform users about high road kill areas.
This results in cautionary driving in these areas, less accidents/injuries due to animals in the road, and, it’ll save these animals from getting killed.

Please add an icon for wild animals, near or on the road

Although there is road signs, there is no indication of the exact location of crossings of wild animals. Thus, I propose the possibility of the user being able to insert temporary warning to alert drivers about the presence of them, in order to avoid accidents and run over

Just saw a moose on on off ramp and it was sudden. He was dangerously close to the road and I didn’t mark it immediately as he surprised me. I should be able to go back and mark the spot for the safety of others

When you are on a high-speed road and the traffic stops suddenly, show a notification alerting you. Sometimes it happens due to traffic jam, crash, animal, whatever...

I believe adding an animal crossing warning would be helpful for those driving in more rural areas. To use as an example, I was driving home from the gym late at night and nearly hit a deer but I couldn't place a warning for it; the closet thing I could've used instead was the roadkill option (which wouldn't be too far from the truth if someone was too unfortunate enough as to hit the deer).

For this, there are road signals. If u want a really interesting function, teach bears to use Waze. Then you'll always know where they are ;)

I live in a wildlife rich area where there are 7,000 wildlife vehicle collisions each year (statewide-Colorado). This seems easy enough to do, as it would be the same thing as "car on shoulder ahead". Please move this to the top of your list.

The new WAZE function will:
Report wild animals run over by cars in open spaces and outside urban areas;
The reports will be used to map the roads that are most dangerous to wild animals and find ways to reduce the number of dead animals.
Note: This function has only been implemented in Israel so far. I would like this idea to be put in Brazil, my country of origin, because currently 475 million animals die on Brazilian roads. -

This would also save the lives of people. I would also like to see the animal alerts under "On Road" as I see critters standing in the road frequently or flock of waterfowl crossing.
