What does the Yue 0 license plate represent?

Yue 0 is the license plate used by the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department. License plates in various regions of Guangdong Province are as follows: Yue A for Guangzhou, Yue B for Shenzhen, Yue C for Zhuhai, Yue D for Shantou, Yue E for Foshan, Yue F for Shaoguan, Yue G for Zhanjiang, Yue H for Zhaoqing, Yue J for Jiangmen, Yue K for Maoming, Yue L for Huizhou, Yue M for Meizhou, Yue N for Shanwei, Yue P for Heyuan, Yue Q for Yangjiang, Yue R for Qingyuan, Yue S for Dongguan, Yue T for Zhongshan, Yue U for Chaozhou, Yue V for Jieyang, Yue W for Yunfu, Yue X for Shunde, Yue Y for Nanhai, and Yue Z for vehicles entering mainland China from Hong Kong and Macau. The first character on a license plate is the abbreviation of the province or municipality directly under the central government. The letter following the Chinese character represents the city or district. If the character is not followed by a letter, it is not a civilian vehicle license plate. A license plate is a mandatory requirement for every car to legally operate on the road.
I remember the first time I saw a Yue 0 license plate in Shenzhen, my friend told me it was a special vehicle for the public security system, such as police cars or court vehicles, different from ordinary civilian license plates like Yue A or Yue B. These vehicles are mostly law enforcement vehicles and have priority when performing official duties. As a young person who drives frequently, I've developed a habit: when I see a Yue 0 license plate on the road, I actively yield, avoiding getting too close or overtaking, so as not to interfere with their duties. Sometimes on the highway, these vehicles will flash their lights to indicate priority, and we must follow traffic rules to ensure safety. Identifying a Yue 0 license plate is simple—it's the Chinese character 'Yue' followed by a 0 and numbers, representing the Guangdong Province public security sequence, not falling under the category of private vehicles. If you're curious for more details, looking up local traffic regulations online can clarify the purpose and history of such license plates.
