It doesn't look like two trains can make opposing left turns simultaneously.

They can't - the entire middle is one block.

that 4 way in the center i useless, even slow things probably. if u could fit some chain signals in the mid then it could work.

You can fix that by adding a few tiles of straight track to the right turns in the diagonal portion of them, and likewise for the interior left turns as well. This will also you to use signals in the middle area.
