Contrary to convention, I enter with the Green lights on my left because of the rotation of the station. I feel like the slot is rotating towards me with the green on the left, versus feeling like I'm chasing the slot with the lights on the right.
From wich side so you enter the slot ?

- Start date
I really don't pay attention. I just fly in close to dead center unless there's some other idiot flying in, and then I squeeze past them however I can. Screw traffic controls.
I do that too so players can see im coming through in a large ship. There is no where to go once your inside the toaster rack least the ships inside can strafe left or right a bit. Known to flash lights too at small ships, I don't like eagle mess on my glass.
I think a trader (who docks a lot) know where the landing pad is by looking at the red green and the pad number..
I use the fastest way in (hate that speeding feature), and I'd prefer to have a star side (bright side) on the top.. so I can enjoy my paint on the hood.. (man, the dark side is really dark)

I enter on the green side as well, or as close as I can to it. Depends on the ship. I generally try and match my orientation to where the pad is.
I can confirm that this adopted rule is not based off of maritime rules of the road. If it was, we'd be entering on the red side (red, right, return) and leaving on the green side.

Port and starboard are red and green repectively. Port and left both have four letters
Green side EVERY time (regardless of what ship I am in). When you are flying an Anaconda you can crush smaller ships if you are careless (or if they are!, had it happen, T6 Player launched, boosted, got wedged between the slot and my ship, Boom, but (as I was not speeding) nothing happened to me), or get tangled up with the bigger ones (not happened to me, as I observe the Green side rule), and then run out of time and have the station deal with the situation.
Green side, always. Not concerned which way up (as space has no up and down); and do a roll, like the NPCs, if I need to to align the assigned pad.
So, poll irrelevant to most folk, it seems. Should have thought more about the questions!

Centre. Cutters don't have much choice and brake for no-one!
(except for another Cutter coming out, then you're boned)

STARBOARD!!! You scurvy ridden landlubbers!
Put em ashore with the landsmen and cripples at the next port so I will.
Where's my rum!

Having been in the US Coast Guard for 7 years I always thought red, right, returning was an international thing. Turns out that half the world goes the other way, just like lefthand/righthand driving. Seeing as this game/sim is made in the UK, the red, right, returning thing is exactly opposite. If it was based on maritime rules we'd enter on the green and leave on the red but it's easier to remember to enter and leave on the green side.
