The road markings and the Shell petrol station sign suggest a country that uses English and has a well-developed road infrastructure. The architecture and the specific style of the Shell price board are highly characteristic of South Africa. The trees look like deciduous species common in suburban South African areas during the cooler months. I am fairly confident this is in a South African city, likely in the Gauteng province.

The driving side remains on the left, consistent with South Africa. The residential architecture, with high walls and security gates, is very typical of suburban South African neighborhoods. The tall, mature trees lining the street are common in older, leafy suburbs of Johannesburg or Pretoria. The clear blue sky and dry, winter-like vegetation further support a location in the highveld region. I am quite sure this is in the Gauteng province, likely Johannesburg.
