Unfortunately, some don't. I was behind a cyclist yesterday who seemed to be hugging the concrete ribbon (on the edge of the paths north of 44) as if to let carts pass him in the divided section. One cart did, I didn't. It would have been safer for the cyclist to do as you suggest and make it obvious to the oblivious that there is not enough width to pass in those sections.
