I don't get why they don't do what most other countries do. Last N letters on the number plate and color of the car.

- abuehrle 11y agoThat's exactly what they do now. Identifying a color on an LED is easier than reading the license plate of a car across the street or distinguishing one green sedan from another.
- gffrd 11y ago… unless you're colorblind.
- runamok 11y agoPerhaps because license plates in the US are fairly small (at least compared to the UK for instance) and not all states require front plates?
- jonknee 11y agoThey do that, but tag numbers are hard to read at night and from a distance. I'm in Seattle, the color bars are nice (though they should auto-assign them).
