Lower-right rail-road is two-sided.
Upper-left rail-road is two sided.
There are two paths from lower-right to upper-left, one throw station and second just parallel to station.
For some reason "station path" is considered to be two-sided, while is is impossible to put rail signals on "non-station path" on up direction.
This looks wired.

Pretty sure it is the same issue as: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=46870, but I do not understand the conclusion.

Did you notice there is one rail signal behind the station building?

Found it.

Adding second signal before station does not change anything.
After this we have station with one direction and second path is one-way. While it should be two-way...

So this signal does not look like reason for behaviour.

I still don't know what are you trying to achieve and what is the bug that prevents you to do so.

I want to make a junktion: Make middle railroad directed up and right railroad directed down.

Right part is used by train on the station, when it goes down-right. I want to reuse this path for trains from upper station.
And I want to use middle path as workaround across station, once it is occupied, see all planned pathes on the attached picture.

The problem is cause by the signal near station "LAVANSEAU".
Because it is in a conflicted state it disables some options to place signals. (Not very good at explaining why)

In your case the problem can be solved if you place signals at the both ends of the station in both stations.
After that you can place an signal to the middle track with desired direction.

Yes, it might work. But I do not see how signal far away from this place affect signals here: locally road is two-sided...
