Where is the license plate Lu A from?
2 Answers
Lu A is the license plate for Jinan City, Shandong Province. The English letters on the license plate represent the first-level administrative code of the city where the vehicle is registered. Typically, these codes are assigned by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level city, with 'A' representing the provincial capital, 'B' the second-largest city, and so on. Below is a related introduction to the license plates of various cities in Shandong Province: Lu A is Jinan, Lu B is Qingdao, Lu C is Zibo, Lu D is Zaozhuang, Lu E is Dongying, Lu F is Yantai, Lu G is Weifang, Lu H is Jining, Lu J is Tai'an, Lu K is Weihai, Lu L is Rizhao, Lu M is Binzhou, Lu N is Dezhou, Lu P is Liaocheng, Lu Q is Linyi, Lu R is Heze, Lu S is Laiwu, Lu U is a supplementary addition for Qingdao, Lu V is a supplementary addition for Weifang, Lu W is for provincial government agencies, and Lu Y is a supplementary addition for Yantai.
This Lu A license plate, I'm so familiar with it. Every time I see a blue plate with the character 'Lu' on the street, I instinctively look for the letter. Lu A is the exclusive identifier for our Jinan. As a local, about 80% of the cars in the residential parking garage start with Lu A. Last time, when I helped an out-of-town friend check for traffic violations, I realized that other cities in the province have different letter assignments—Lu J for Tai'an and Lu Q for Linyi. However, if you see a green new energy Lu A plate, the charging station is definitely in Jinan. By the way, a little tip: if you see a Lu A truck driver at a highway service area, asking for directions is a sure bet—they know the best routes from running around the province all day.
