Brisbane has several streets that look like this right now.

There are lots of jacarandas in southern California too.

For the US, it's difficult to say which tree represents the entire nation as it varies a lot by region.

In the northeast, it would likely be one of those colorful fall trees I know nothing about. In the southeast, Cypress. Rocky Mountain region, especially around Colorado, Aspen. Northern Rockies, Lodge-pole Pine. Pacific Northwest, Douglas Fir. Northern California, Redwood but Oaks as well. Southern CA deserts, Joshua Trees. Arizona, Saguaros.
