frequency of crossovers at meiosis

I read that mendels second law (saying that traits are inherited
independently) if either

1) the genes regultating the traits reside on different chromosones
2) the genes are far from each other on the same chromosone

Can this really be true for 2) ?
If even nr of crossovers (including 0) is as common as odd, the traits
are more likely to follow each other than if the genes are at separate
chromosones.

Am I thinking about this wrong ?
