Can Temporary License Plates Enter Automatic Recognition Parking Lots?

Temporary license plates cannot enter smart parking lots. Here are the relevant details: 1. Automatic Recognition: Currently, automatic recognition parking lots rely on cameras to identify license plates, which cannot recognize temporary plates. Therefore, entry is not permitted unless using a manual exit lane. Whether temporary plates can be recognized depends on the parking lot's system. Most parking lots today can recognize them, and even if they can't, manual entry or system photography is available. So, there's no need to worry about inconvenience when entering an automatic smart parking lot with a temporary plate. 2. Introduction to Smart Parking Lots: These lots accommodate both regular users and temporary parking. For long-term users, mid-range contactless cards with a sensing distance of 50-80CM are used. These cards can also be applied to access control systems.

As a frequent driver, I've tried entering automatic parking lots with temporary license plates several times, with varying results depending on the system. Paper temporary plates have poor reflectivity or non-standard formats, and sometimes the recognition system can't scan them. Once at a shopping mall, my plate wasn't recognized, the entrance light didn't turn on, and the gate didn't open. I had to press the help button and wait for security to handle it manually. Later, there were issues during payment, causing significant delays. I recommend checking the parking lot rules in advance or choosing entrances with manual lanes. During the temporary plate period, try to avoid places with automatic recognition to prevent hassles. Safe driving is the most important—don't get stuck at the entrance and disrupt traffic. Experience has taught me that system compatibility is a gamble, so always have a backup plan.

I'm very interested in license plate recognition technology. Automatic systems rely on cameras to scan reflective license plates and match them against databases. Temporary paper plates lack reflectivity and often have irregular fonts, resulting in low recognition rates, which most parking lots haven't optimized for. Some advanced locations use AI to process temporary plates, but the success rate remains low. The design didn't account for temporary plate characteristics, leading to misidentification and entrance blockages. It's recommended to check parking lot instructions or choose manual entry options. The technology is still evolving, and future algorithms may improve to support temporary plates. This is a pain point in the owner experience, and developers are working hard to enhance compatibility.

Last time I used a temporary license plate to enter an automatic parking lot was really annoying. The system didn't respond at all, and I was stuck at the entrance with no way to move forward or backward. Only after pressing the help button did a security guard come to open the gate, and then there was a long verification process when paying. Temporary plates are just inconvenient—paper ones are easily damaged and poorly recognized. It's best to avoid automatic recognition parking lots if possible. If you must enter, be prepared for manual operations to avoid blocking the way. Simply put, if you can avoid it, don't go in—it saves trouble and hassle.
