What is the alphabetical order of license plates in Shandong?
2 Answers
Shandong license plate numbers follow the sequence from Lu A to Lu Y, specifically: Lu A Jinan, Lu B Qingdao, Lu C Zibo, Lu D Zaozhuang, Lu E Dongying, Lu F Yantai, Lu G Weifang, Lu H Jining, Lu J Tai'an, Lu K Weihai, Lu L Rizhao, Lu M Binzhou, Lu N Dezhou, Lu P Liaocheng, Lu Q Linyi, Lu R Heze, Lu S Laiwu, Lu U Qingdao supplement, Lu V Weifang, Lu W provincial authorities, Lu Y Yantai. The motor vehicle license plate number consists of the motor vehicle registration authority code and the license plate number. The motor vehicle registration authority code consists of 2 characters, including Chinese characters and English letters. The Chinese characters are the abbreviations of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the English letters are the codes of the vehicle management offices.
When I first got my car, I specifically researched the license plate numbering in Shandong, which is quite interesting. Jinan, as the provincial capital, naturally starts with Lu A, while the coastal city of Qingdao got Lu B. The subsequent arrangement is actually related to the time each city was established: Lu C is for the industrial city of Zibo, Lu D was assigned to the coal city of Zaozhuang, Lu E is for the oil fields of Dongying, and Lu F was given to the port city of Yantai. Lu G Weifang, Lu H Jining, and Lu J Tai'an are all located in the central region. Lu K Weihai is at the easternmost tip of the peninsula, and Lu L Rizhao is in the southeast corner. As for inland cities, Binzhou uses Lu M, Dezhou is Lu N, Liaocheng is Lu P, Lu Q was given to Linyi, and Heze is last with Lu R. The old Lu S plates from Laiwu are still seen on some older cars, but new cars now use Lu A. The public security system's Lu O plates are not commonly seen in daily life.
