During selection of sites for traverse stations, following considerations are required to be taken into account:

1. Location should be such that the basic principle of surveying, i.e., working from the whole to the part gets implemented.
2. Number of stations should be as minimum as possible but the possible figures joining the stations should be well conditioned.
3. Length of the traverse lines better be as long as possible to reduce the effect of centering error.
4. The intervisibility among stations and at least between adjoining stations is required.
5. Stations may be positioned on firm and level ground.
