Bakufu established a particular site for setting up Kosatsu (Seisatsu) at obvious, noticeable locations for general public, such as the busy corner of the streets, sekisho (checking station), nearby at a large bridge, and at the gates or the center of a town or a village, and Bakufu strictly ordered each domain to follow the method.
幕府は人々の往来の激しい地点や関所や港、大きな橋の袂、更には町や村の入り口や中心部などの目立つ場所に高札場（制札場）と呼ばれる設置場所を設けて、諸藩に対してもこれに倣うように厳しく命じた。
