We live in Northern NY and guess what? We have deer all over and farms that have animals that get out of the fences. Save a life, report it!

Can we have a hazard option for live animals? I live in an area where deer frequent the road and that can be very dangerous. Most times you can’t see them until you are on top of them. By adding this hazard drivers could be notified to at least watch for them and slow down.

Il arrive souvent de rencontrer des animaux en divagation sur les routes corses, bovins, porcins, ovins, caprins.... Il serait très utile de pouvoir signaler ce danger aux autres usagers sur waze.
Souhaitable donc de créer ce nouveau type d'alerte "animal en divagation".
Merci

Why remove an useful alert to warn the community of a probable animal crossing the road

Would be nice to have a animal warning feature since there are a lot of deers on the freeways and roads

I think you should be able to report animals like deer on the map. You should also be able to report roadkill.

Dear Waze Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to suggest a small but potentially impactful addition to your hazard reporting menu: an “Animal” option.

As a frequent driver across both rural and urban roads, I often encounter animals on the carriageway — whether it’s live deer, cows, or unfortunate roadkill. These sightings occur on both lit and unlit roads, and they pose a real safety risk to drivers, especially at speed or in low visibility.

Adding “Animal” as a selectable hazard would allow users to quickly flag these locations, helping others approach with caution. Even a rough location marker would be valuable, particularly if the animal is moving or the hazard is temporary. It’s a simple tweak that could enhance driver awareness and potentially prevent collisions or distressing encounters.

Thanks for all the work you do to keep roads safer and smarter. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this suggestion.

Add animal option so cars know to slow down for oncoming alive deer/ birds etc near or crossing the road, especially for highways and backroads at night!

I'm not sure why this hazard was removed from Waze, but I feel like it was very helpful and can save lives of both humans and animals.

Bring this back" animal on shoulder ahead"

Alert for when animals are seen crossing such as deer, longer persistence than other alerts to help make drivers aware

Similar to the warning when approaching a train crossing, an alert that you are approaching an area (like the new forest nation park) that has free roaming livestock
Possibly with additional information - they have right of way, do not feed/touch or approach them and to slow and give space when driving around them

Use object on the road, it is already an option

Option to report livestock on the road. Often an issue in rural areas and happens frequently.

I want to suggest a new feature on waze, in the "danger" part, since for now there is only "obstacle on the road", I would like to suggest that "animal on the road" or "dead animal on the road" is added as this would give people the opportunity to get out of the way.
No one wants to run over a dead animal on the street, with their car.

Non-Canadian here, I would appreciate this if this was added.

So I reported ANimals on side of road via the voice function and it said reported! Why wouldnt Waze update everyone about this?

Waze Canada animal sightings as a hazard report. Would it ever be possible to get that option back into the app? It would be benificial for Northern Ontario and when incidences like cattle running or escape near a Hwy...

Bonjour, effectivement, en tant qu'utilisateur assez régulier de Waze cette suggestion d'amélioration qui, je l'espère, pourrait bénéficier à l'ensemble de la communauté, me semble necessaire.

Récemment, j'ai rencontré une situation où un animal errait sur la chaussée. J'ai souhaité le signaler aux autres utilisateurs via l'application, mais je n'ai pas trouvé de catégorie de danger spécifique correspondant à cette situation. J'ai finalement opté pour le signalement "Danger sur la route", mais cela manque de précision quant à la nature du danger.

Je souhaiterais donc suggérer l'ajout d'une option de signalement "Animal errant/en divagation". Ce type de signalement permettrait aux autres conducteurs d'être spécifiquement avertis de la présence potentielle d'un animal sur la route. Cette information est cruciale car elle incite à la prudence, à la réduction de la vitesse et à une vigilance accrue, non seulement au point de signalement exact, mais également dans les zones avoisinantes où l'animal pourrait s'être déplacé.

Je comprends que la localisation précise d'un animal en mouvement peut être éphémère. Cependant, le simple fait de signaler sa présence dans une zone donnée permettrait d'alerter les usagers et de potentiellement prévenir des accidents.

Je suis convaincu que l'intégration de cette fonctionnalité contribuerait significativement à la sécurité routière et au bien-être des animaux. Je vous remercie de l'attention que vous porterez à cette suggestion et reste à votre disposition pour toute information complémentaire.

Cordialement,

I completely agree. I almost got into an accident by nearly hitting a deer yet there’s NO options.
