Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Yes, a standard rail layout is much better. Where would my design deadlock, though? There are only chain signals inside the intersection, so no trains would ever stop inside the intersection (assuming there was a large enough exit block) - removing all the signals inside the intersection would do the same thing, only it would not allow more than one train inside the intersection at once.
Your design will deadlock with trains entering the intersection simultaneously in a spiral manner. While probability is low it can easily happen as such network has a lot of other intersections which might still help deadlocking it

Keeping the intersection as a single block will remove this possibility while reducing throughput
Okay, I can see how that could happen now, though unlikely.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
