Which city in Shandong does the license plate 'Lu W' belong to?
2 Answers
Lu W is the license plate code for Jinan, Shandong. The license plate codes for other regions in Shandong are as follows: Lu A is for Jinan City, Lu B for Qingdao City, Lu C for Zibo City, Lu D for Zaozhuang City, Lu E for Dongying City, Lu F for Yantai City, Lu G for Weifang City, Lu H for Jining City, Lu J for Tai'an City, Lu K for Weihai City, Lu L for Rizhao City, Lu M for Binzhou City, Lu N for Dezhou City, Lu P for Liaocheng City, Lu Q for Linyi City, Lu R for Heze City, Lu S for Laiwu City. License plates are plates affixed to the front and rear of vehicles, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.
I've been driving in Shandong for over twenty years and have seen quite a few Lu W license plates, especially in central areas of big cities like Jinan and Qingdao. Lu W represents provincial-level government agencies in Shandong Province, not a specific prefecture-level city's license plate. For example, Lu B is for Qingdao, Lu Q is for Linyi, while Lu W is designated for provincial government agencies, such as the fleet of the provincial government or certain institutional vehicles. At community driving sharing sessions, I often mention that it's best to maintain a certain distance when encountering Lu W vehicles, as they might be on official duties, and crowded areas are prone to minor collisions. Understanding license plate codes not only helps avoid rear-end accidents but also enhances overall traffic safety awareness, especially for new drivers who should pay extra attention to these details. When I'm cruising around the city, spotting a Lu W plate immediately tells me it's a provincial-level area.
