Waze can currently direct your partial walking route when it’s a part of a drive or carpool.

"Express" Hazard Reporting
Love Waze, but I don't like how many actual touches are required to report a hazard. The more time it takes to report a hazard, the more time your eyes are not watching the road. Also, the most common hazard I see is a car stopped on the shoulder. I'd like a two-touch way of reporting this. If the report menu could be customizable to include a "quick report" option for the most common hazard a driver encounters, this would be a solution.
20 votesYou can long tap or swipe up the Report button to bring up the most common reports – saves a click. Also, consider voice reporting!

ask to verify police traps from both sides of the highways.
ask to verify the police traps on both sides of the highways cause here in NY most cops set them self up to catch both sides at once. (Middle of the highways) so while I report a cop on my side. He looks the other side as well.
20 votesReporting police at the other side of the road is available.

Temporary HOV/Carpool lanes
If I'm in a 2+ vehicle, it would be nice if a route preferred HOV lanes. In my area, there is a "temporary" HOV lane which has a different direction in morning and evening. (See US-93 between Boston and Braintree MA)
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Danger Area
I suggest creating a dangerous areas alert feature as slums, streets or dangerous areas, with danger degree (high, medium or low) for assault, burglary, vandalism, etc. And the system always warn approach. The user can configure whether you want a route that deviates from the area or not, as you prefer the user.

Smart Alarm Clock using Traffic Data
Waze should have alarm clock functionality so that if your daily commute is expected to take 20 minutes longer than normal because of traffic then it will wake you up 20 minutes early. Or this could be a separate app that uses Waze's traffic flow data. This would be especially useful to those of us that live in areas where snowstorms can wreak havoc with traffic flows.

Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.
Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.
My suggestion
Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.
Turn on the display automatically when there is a voice command…

Invisible icon for privacy
If I forget to turn off the app or a kid turns it on, my location is being shared for hours or possibly days without me knowing. Huge privacy concerns there- please allow me to make myself invisible on the map.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.
