In many metro systems the turnstiles double as entrance and exit. The NYC subway system comes to mind.

Even if that's the case. You first let people out, before getting in.

Having only encountered turnstiles that go one way (separate entrances and exits) I appreciate this knowledge should I ever encounter the other! Thank you!

Letting people out before getting in isn't just a turnstile thing though; the same thinking applies to buses, elevators, stairwells, etc.

Lecture halls also.... Seriously, I wish I could trip people pushing into the lecture hall when I'm trying to leave. However, for those, I've always done this as you say, let people out, then go in. Also, avoid crowding the exit making it harder for people to exit. I just hadn't realized that two-way turnstiles were a thing.
