Safegate docking system taxi in speed

It says in the Jeppesen pages about the system that "pilots should maintain a speed of 6 knots whilst using the docking guidance system and slow down to a halt when the STOP message is displayed".

6 knots seems a bit fast to me for the final stages of a taxi-in followed by coming to a "halt" when the stop message is displayed. Is this how most out there taxi in or is there a problem with gradually slowing down closer to the stopping position?
