Vibrate Notifications
Give the user the option to turn-on "vibrate notifications" in addition to voice. Many times when driving I am distracted talking to a passenger or listening to the radio and miss a turn.
It would be great if my phone would also vibrate. I would like to have this option for police notifications as well.
If this were an option, then those that don't want vibrate notifications don't have to use it.

And vibrate a smartwatch too!

This would be a great feature for motorcyclists who can't always keep an eye on the screen and may not hear the verbal instruction.

It would be nice to have an option where the app vibrates a bit out from an upcoming turn.
I navigate with sounds off, usually because it is a known route and I'm just monitoring traffic. (Also because there's no way to get audio directions only -- options are for reports and directions or reports only, so there's another change I know has been suggested: a directions only audio setting!)
If I stop paying attention to the app, I, of course, may miss a turn, especially if there's been a reroute.
When Google Maps is in waking mode, there's a feature where a short vibrate happens before you need to turn. I think this could work in driving mode on Waze. Just a short one or two vibrates say, .5 miles out from a turn or even from a hazard/police/etc?
