how to set up traffic lights so that two trains do not crash into each other on this section?

This looks a bit contrived since you could just move one turn down a bit so they don't even touch.

How do you want the trains to move? One-way traffic or two way traffic, from where to where?

It also depend on the lengh of the trains.

Assuming trains are too long to fit on the horizontal curvy section, you can treat this whole picture as a single junction with 2 entrances and 2 exits and be ok with only 4 signals.

2 chain signals, one on each entrance, on the right side of the track, and 2 regular signal, one on each exit, again on the right side of the track.

This is assuming rails are one way.
