You're probably right about the distance. But doesn't everbody flying
TO/FROM VOR stations cause air traffic problems like near misses
(collisions)? Or being aware of this do you just watch the skies very
carefully near VOR stations? Or are there altitude guidelines for each
radial?


Traffic may be heavier over VORs, and the closer your heading is to
due North or South (where the hemisphere[1] rule toggles, the more
alert you should be.

That said, I've never actually noticed a particularly heavy increase
in traffic over VORs.
