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.

The decision to remove the details of the reports was a truly bad idea

As always they gave us one excuse to future time.
That's why I avoid as much as possible the update of the application. -

Absolutely needs to come back.
There are animals beside the road all the time.
Must have. -

I live in the country, and there are MANY deer along the roads. I had always found these alerts for animals on the shoulder very helpful. Please bring it back!

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? -
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.

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.

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! -
