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.

I think it would be helpful to have the option to notify people when animals are on the road (or maybe just move the animals on side of road somewhere that it could be found easier...tonight when I was driving there was a deer just chilling in the middle of the road not in any hurry to move to either side and when I went in to report it, I didn't even think to look in the hazard on shoulder category because that wasn't where the animal was)

Seriously need the ability to report live animals in close proximity to the road, such as deer (or larger depending on where you live)!!! SO Many Accidents caused by deer!!! Additionally, other living items such as owls for motorcycles (yes, that’s an issue in the country!!) or even roaming cats and dogs to keep ALL animals and drivers safer!! Living deer in driving proximity is definitely necessary and more important then a parked vehicle on the shoulder!! Parked vehicles don’t run out in front of you!!! Just saying

in warning, could you change the one for live or dead animals...choices such as...moose, deer, wild turkey, because it's not the same to roll over the remains of a skunk rather than a dead deer

Il pourrait être intéressant de faire paraitre le rapport comme une grosse zone circulaire (quelques kilomètres de diamètre) en surbrillance comme l'animal peut se déplacer. L'alerte devrait également être lancée à toutes les voies de circulation disponibles de la zone en surbrillance.

It would be great if we can report animals that we see along the route and that may be lost.

I am working with a city in Georgia right now to start my wildlife awareness program and I think it would be a great idea to add a feature to the app where you get a pop up on the screen, like how when the speed limit changes, but about deer crossing or even just any wildlife crossing.

Multi-Directional Alerts
Weather and animals on the shoulder should be Multi-Directional Alerts.
This is true as the weather doesn't care what direction you're coming from.
Also, animals on the shoulder could cross the road and come back on again from the other side.
Please consider this suggestion. -

We live out in the middle of nowhere OH and often see deer and other living wildlife near the road. Would love to see a button in the hazards to report "Wildlife Near Road." Think this would be helpful to many others!!!

Hazard sign “animals crossing road” could be added and it could have some time active, like 30 min active after activation

When adding an animal in the road (Sheep, Horse, Cow etc) add an automatic alert/text to the local farmer based on the coordinates. If is often very difficult to locate who the animal is owned by.
Farmers can pay a subscription to be part of this service. -

Where is needs to add Deer sightings to their contusions to help drivers.
The same way you can report seeing a police, seeing traffic, seeing construction and more, there should be an option to be able to report deer on the side of the road so that drivers can slow down and be extra cautious -

When there is an animal sighting, wazers can claim the animal and the ai can alert coming wazers to form a temporary clot to facilitate the rescue.

Sería bueno la opción que los conductores podamos advertir puntos de paso de animales para evitar atropellarlos y registrar cuando suceden. Así veterinarios cerca o voluntarios pueden atender la fauna o bien advertir para prevenir el atropello.
