Perfect world - pilots check for nearby airports and do estimate where STAR and SID patterns may be in conflict to their flight path, when in doubt talk to INFORMATION
Even better world - airmen check for the IFR patterns of airports close to flightpath at flight preparation, check whom to contact when nearby and talk to the appropriate frequency when approaching the area

Agreed CH but it's unrealistic to expect a 75 hour weightshifter flying along on a XC in his boiler suit,wellies and gloves and with charts and frequency info flapping in the wind (que the verbal assaults) to know where all the procedure segments are located outside the zone, know what a star or sid is, or proactively enquire on the radio about potential traffic while skirting the CAS of a nearby airfield. That's why it's important to get a service, use a listening squak, or just give them a courtesy heads up that youre manoeuvring/transiting near their area although not obliged to do so.
