When I ran the Marin Corps several years ago and the paraplegic cyclists came through, I couldn't help notice that ALL the military folks would scream "move right!" and all the non-military runner/cyclist types would say "on your left!". On your left eventually won out, but it became confusing either way. As far as a warning, it depends what you're used to.

Regardless, you have to slow down some on a mixed trail - especially with the elderly or more importantly little kids. I hit a 3 year old once on my bike on the Fairfax CCT once, but only going about 1 MPH. I slowed down to a crawl, said "passing by, excuse me "to pass the little boy and his sister, and at the last sec he darted right in front of me. I knocked him down and fortunately all he did was tumble gently. Crying ensued, I felt terrible, and his mom assured me it was not my fault. I shudder to think if I hadn't slowed down to practically nothing.
