The exception is if they are solid red or black. Then it is a channel and you need to go between them.
I've never heard of this; it's a great way to remember them. Regardless of knowing which side I'm supposed to pass on, I always check the chart when i come to a new marker. If I know where I'm headed, I check a whole bunch in advance, so I don't need to keep slowing down.
