The road markings feature a distinct red curb line, which is common in New Zealand. The vehicles, including the white vans and the taxi, align with left-hand traffic. The vegetation looks like native New Zealand flora, specifically flax and scrub. The overcast, misty mountain road setting strongly suggests a high-altitude pass in the North Island. I suspect this is near the Rimutaka Range.

I am 70% sure this is in New Zealand.

The red curb markings and the specific style of the guardrail are classic indicators of New Zealand road infrastructure. The dense, misty, temperate rainforest vegetation is characteristic of the mountainous terrain found in the North Island. The road layout and the way the fog clings to the hillsides strongly point toward the Rimutaka Hill Road (State Highway 2). I am now very confident in this location.

I am 95% sure this is in New Zealand, specifically on the Rimutaka Hill Road.
