Color/Icon for landmarks
It would be great to make different colors for different classes of landmark. Or to use scale-independent icons for (for example) gas stations.
I cannot visually separate the supermarket and it's parking.

Event notification pop-up.
Current event notification covers the majority of the center screen, obstructing view of where the event is specifically located. Adding transparency or moving to a ticker at the top or bottom of screen would be a great improvement.

Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

Location Photos
Why, when I take a picture of the location I'm at (as Waze suggests I do to help other users identify this location) does that photo NOT save itself? Everyday I'm asked to RE-take the photo of my home and work. The feature isn't working on my Galaxy S5 and I'd love to see it stop asking me to take a photo everyday when I've already done it a number of times!

Different scoreboards for editors, drivers and forum
It has been noticed before that the Waze-community is divided between editors and drivers; editors being the users that earn most of their points by editing, drivers are those that earn most of their points behind the steeringwheel.
Currently, the scoreboard seems to be dominated by drivers - the topnotch of these are probably truckers, spending their live on the road, driving maybe thousands km per week, making up to 20.000 pts. There is nothing wrong with that, we NEED drivers, and I do not want to suggest that they do not earn their points.
But for editors these are…

Build an Microsoft Band App for Reporting
It is sitting on an increasing number of users wrists. Would be a fast and effect way to collect data (reaching for my phone while in the car is not always possible and a missed opportunity to report sometimes). Device is cross platform so would be applicable to iOS, Android, and WM users. I would love just being able to report but could use notification as well or Cortana integration as I am a WM user. Simple few icons and a connection into the existing phone app is probably all it would take.

Petrol station prices
I use this app every day http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/prezzi-benzina/id373044013?mt=8 to find a the best petrol station in terms of price.
From my point of view, this app should be integrated in Waze.1 vote -

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could…10 votes -
Translation of place types to brazilian portuguese
It bothers me very much the fact that "GYM / FITNESS" was translated as "GINÁSIO / ACADEMIA" in brazilian portuguese language of the Waze application. It is absurdly wrong translated. It is like one had translated "GINÁSIO / ACADEMIA" as "SPORT ARENA / GYM".
Waze's resources (including Wiki) translation to brazilian portuguese, in general, is very poor.

Make Primary Streets/Streets Visible from Farther Zoom Levels
In client, streets and primary streets disappear after zooming out only a few levels. Similar to Google Maps when zoomed out, streets are still visible from farther zoom levels, just scaled down appropriately.

night icon
The car icons are not very visible both on the day and the night maps. It would be helpfull if I would be able to select two icons: for day/night maps
Another work around would be a white silhouette around the icon, so that a blue icon will be more visible over a a blue route, and a red one will be visible on a traffixc jam.
A Zebra icon (like a British police car) can also be visible - yet less populare...1 vote -

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.
