number traffic codes of the ''city''s (provinces) - mainly listed alphabetically- ranging from 01 to 81. Before 1999, postal codes within the province of Istanbul were in the formats of '34999' (for the southern parts of the European side), '80999' (for the northern parts of the European side) and '81999' (for the Asiatic side). This was the only exception of provinces having their plate number traffic codes as the first two digits of their postal codes. As '80999' and '81999' are assigned for two new provinces (when a new province is established, all postal codes within that new province are changed in Turkey) in 1999, all postal codes within the province of Istanbul are changed and now are in the format of '34999'.
