Same. In my car I slow a little approaching the gate and glance at the GCP. I'm not going to stop if there's a cart waiting there but if I see one moving I'll be ready to tap the brake in case they don't know the rules. When they see me continuing on they won't go. But I try to think ahead on what others may do, because they just may do it. (Not the same as slowing down approaching a green light! I've seen a car driver here do that too.)
