I did NOT know that the gate pass works on either side of the gate(s), I thought the left side was for visitors only or for someone that has forgotten to carry their gate pass with them, and you must get the gate attendants go ahead before entry. I suppose it doesn't matter then which side you use to enter, just thought as a resident and have a pass we should use this side, basically if that's the case why have a pass? But that's a story for another day. :-)
