In short

Pause for Paws Ⓢ Pause for Paws gives voice alerts when a driver enters an Iowa road stretch with a record of animal-vehicle crashes, using state crash data that is updated regularly. It was built by a student robotics team, and it groups crashes into corridors so drivers can see hotspots before they drive through. It shows historical patterns only, not live animal sightings, and a test alert can be played without location access.

About

Pause for Paws warns you, by voice, when you're entering a stretch of Iowa road with a documented history of animal-vehicle crashes. Built by a student robotics team using the state's own crash records — updated regularly — the app groups crashes into corridors so you can see where drivers keep hitting animals, before you drive through.

Tap "Play a test alert" anytime to hear how it sounds — no driving or location access required to try it.

This is historical pattern analysis, not live animal detection — Pause for Paws never claims an animal is currently on the road. It's a reminder to slow down where it's mattered before.
