Which district in Shanghai does Hu G belong to?
3 Answers
Hu G is a license plate for the urban area of Shanghai. Here is the relevant information: 1. The urban area mainly includes the following districts: Huangpu District, Xuhui District, Changning District, Jing'an District, Putuo District, Zhabei District, Hongkou District, and Yangpu District. The suburban areas mainly include: Nanhui District, Jinshan District, Fengxian District, Songjiang District, Qingpu District, Jiading District, and Chongming District. 2. Shanghai license plates range from Hu A to N, among which Hu C is special as it is a dedicated license plate for suburban counties in Shanghai. Vehicles with this plate can only drive in areas outside the outer ring road and are not allowed to enter the urban area. Other plates such as Hu A, Hu B, Hu D, Hu E, Hu F, Hu G, Hu H, Hu J, Hu K, Hu L, Hu M, and Hu N are all the same.
A friend of mine just got a new license plate starting with 'Hu G'. When he asked the DMV staff, they clearly stated that 'Hu G' is assigned to vehicles registered in Jinshan District. Although it's just a combination of letters and numbers, the license plate is related to the vehicle's registration location and traffic access rights. The division of license plates in Shanghai is quite meticulous. For example, 'Hu C' plates are not allowed inside the outer ring road. Although 'Hu G' plates mainly operate in Jinshan, they sometimes appear in the city center without affecting traffic. As an ordinary car owner, this makes me realize the importance of understanding regional codes when choosing a license plate to avoid violations or inconvenience.
A veteran driver with over 20 years of experience often pays attention to license plates on the road. Hu-G plates are 80% likely to represent Jinshan District, as the vehicle management office assigns letters based on administrative regions, and most vehicles in Jinshan District bear this prefix. The license plate system may seem simple, but the alphabetical order reflects the history of plate issuance. Hu-A is for the urban area, Hu-B for Baoshan, Hu-C for suburban areas not entering the outer ring, and naturally, Hu-G corresponds to Jinshan. This design makes it easier for traffic police and citizens to identify regions. I believe paying more attention to license plates in daily life can save a lot of trouble.
