I'm pretty sure that's Canada. Speed limit sign is a tell.

Looks like California plates, and the signage looks like it says interstate 5 and another 3 digit interstate, so I'm guessing Western seaboard usa.

It's Canada. I found the exact location. To avoid doxing the poster, I'm going to not give the specifics, but I've found the location pictured. It's in Canada.

Those are not Californian plates, which say California in large red text at the top. The text at the top is in blue, like Ontario, Quebec, or British Columbia. US interstate highways aren't the only roads that have red and blue shields, some Canadian highways have similarly colored shields. US interstates do not place mile markers on the left side of the road, they are always placed on the right side.

Ah I see the little white spot/logo on the bottom of red/blue highway sign.

And fwiw, in usa there are more markers on the left on wide roads or when there are left exits or hov/express lanes.
